In this episode, Melissa sits down with Dasha Tcherniakovskaia, a coach for high-achieving women who are exhausted from doing everything for everyone. Dasha shares how chronic burnout, corporate overachievement, and nervous system dysregulation led her to a new way of living and working rooted in energy management.
Together, they explore how energy is quietly drained through everyday habits, thoughts, and emotional patterns, and how reclaiming energy is less about doing more and more about becoming aware of what’s leaking it in the first place. This conversation offers practical, grounded tools for protecting your energy, regulating your nervous system, and creating sustainable success without constant overwhelm.
