Ever feel like you’re doing everything right—you’re aware, you’re healing, you're even making progress—and then suddenly… you shut down?
The good thing starts, and your system slams on the brakes. You go numb. You feel “gray.”
You’re not broken. You’re stuck in a nervous system protection pattern—and this episode is for you.

In this powerful live coaching conversation, returning guest and entrepreneur Isa Gautschi shares what it feels like to hit that emotional flatline—even when life is technically fine. Together, we explore why shutdown happens, how it often shows up when things are safe (not just scary), and how to begin shifting out of it.

We also break down:

• The SHRINK response and how it keeps you trapped in perfectionism, avoidance, and overthinking

• What to do when your system sees good things as a threat

• Why you can’t “just take action” (and why that’s not the problem)

• How to begin dissolving patterns that keep you stuck—and take aligned steps forward

You’ve read the books. Taken the courses. Done the therapy. But you're still stuck—trapped in a loop of overthinking, overdoing, or overwhelmed healing. Sound familiar?

In this raw and real episode, Dr. Andrea Moore shares the true root cause of stuckness that most trauma-informed, somatic, and self-help work completely misses. And she introduces her new self-paced course, Meet Yourself: The Key to Getting Unstuck, designed specifically for people like you—those who know where they want to go but just can’t seem to take that next step.

• Why nervous system tools, journaling, or therapy might be reinforcing your stuckness

• How healing and overachieving can both become subtle traps

• Why "doing more" (even more rest) isn’t always the answer

• How striving for a better version of yourself can backfire

• The mindset shift and somatic practice that finally moves people forward

• The one thing you need before any practice or protocol can actually work

Think your chronic tension, poor sleep, or jaw pain has nothing to do with how your tongue rests in your mouth? Think again.

In this raw and mind-blowingly informative episode, Dr. Andrea Moore sits down with Sara Mercier, a registered dental hygienist and orofacial myofunctional therapist, to unravel the wildly underappreciated role of your tongue, jaw, and breathing in everything from chronic pain to nervous system regulation.

Together, they explore:

• What orofacial myofunctional therapy actually is—and why you’ve likely never heard of it

• How improper tongue posture can mess with your breathing, sleep, nervous system, AND facial development

• Why nasal breathing isn’t just “ideal”—it’s foundational to healing and performance

• The shocking links between tongue ties, ADHD, anxiety, and musculoskeletal issues

• Why some people feel instant relief (like open hips and better sleep) after a tongue tie release

• The ethics of therapy, informed choice, and knowing when to stop spinning your wheels

• Yes, even… why Sarah analyzes celebrity mouths on Instagram (and why people get so dang upset about it)

Andrea also shares her own vulnerable story about her son’s tongue tie release, the tough decisions involved, and how even as a seasoned PT, she’s constantly learning how interconnected the body truly is.

This is the episode that will make you stare at your own tongue in the mirror—and question everything you thought you knew about healing.
