Welcome back to The Re-Mind Podcast with Dr Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton — where we explore the intersections of nervous system regulation, emotional intelligence, healing, and spiritual growth.

In this heart-opening episode, we explore a theme that many of us feel, but rarely unpack with clarity:

👉 Who gets access to us — emotionally, energetically, and relationally — and why?

Through real-life stories, gentle humor, and deep self-reflection, Ashleigh and David walk through:

• What your 8-year-old might already know about boundaries (and we adults often forget)

• The difference between being supportive and being in agreement with unhealthy roles

• Why obligation often masquerades as compassion — and how to tell the difference

• The subtle shift from holding space to dropping the rope

• What it means to be “okay being the villain in someone else’s story”

• How to start auditing your emotional capacity with compassion and clarity

  
  

✨ If you’ve ever felt the tension of emotional dumping, misaligned relationships, or being stretched beyond your energetic means — this episode invites you into honest, liberating self-inquiry.

• Emotional boundaries aren’t about disconnection — they’re about resonance

• Being loving isn’t the same as being available to everyone

• Obligation, guilt, and inherited roles (especially in family) often override our knowing

• You can care, without being the container

• Self-love looks like discernment, not just self-soothing

  
  

If this episode stirred something in you — reflect on:

• Who in your life currently has “friend access” that may no longer align?

• Where are you still in unconscious agreement with roles that no longer serve you?

• What does loving yourself actually look like in practice this week?

In this episode, David and Dr Ashleigh go deeper into the root causes of burnout. Beyond bubble baths and weekend getaways, this is about the systemic, emotional, and energetic layers that keep us cycling through survival.

They explore:
🔹 The 3 types of burnout — including moral injury
🔹 Why "doing your best" often comes from inner parts still trying to earn love
🔹 How high-functioning trauma masks depletion
🔹 What your nervous system is really trying to tell you
🔹 And why rest is not always the answer — integration is.

Whether you're a parent, a practitioner, a leader, or just exhausted from holding it all together — this episode is a mirror and a moment of pause.

In this honest and deeply resonant episode, David and Dr. Ashleigh unpack a cultural epidemic that’s quietly shaping our nervous systems, our identities, and our worth — the worship of productivity.

When did being busy become a badge of honour? Why do so many of us only feel worthy when we're achieving something? And what happens when we stop?

Ashleigh opens up about being triggered by her own burnout course (yes, really), while David reflects on how school, parenting, and corporate life all feed into the same story: that doing is more important than being.

Together, they explore the roots of hustle culture, how overachievement gets rewarded from childhood, and the hidden costs of living in survival mode. You’ll hear stories about education, parenting, healing, and the kind of “pit stops” we often only take once it’s too late.

This episode is an invitation to pause, breathe, and ask: Who taught me that I have to earn my worth?

It's time to reclaim rest, rewrite our internal narratives, and begin healing the performance-based wiring that so many of us carry.
