About the show

Feeling stuck, exhausted, or like your work isn’t reaching as many people as it should? Join Dr. Anastasia Chopelas as she blends science and energy healing to help conscious entrepreneurs clear hidden blocks, restore vitality, and rise into their true power. You’re a purpose-driven coach, healer or health / wellness professional: you love helping others feel better in their bodies, minds, and lives. You’ve studied the best methods, honed your craft, and poured your heart into your clients. Yet deep down, you sense something unseen is still slowing you down. Maybe you’re working twice as hard for half the results. Maybe you’re feeling invisible, stuck, secretly exhausted, or even unwell — even though on the outside it looks like you’re doing everything “right.” You’re not broken. You’re not missing the magic marketing trick. Chances are, you’re carrying hidden energetic patterns from your past — unresolved trauma, inherited beliefs, invisible contracts, or even old relationship ties. These unseen forces can drain your vitality, cloud your clarity, and keep you from fully stepping into your power as a practitioner. I’m your host, Dr. Anastasia Chopelas — physicist turned energy healer. After decades in scientific research, I discovered how energy truly permeates time, space, and the human body. I’ve helped thousands of people reclaim their energy, restore their health, and transform their work — and now I’m here to help you do the same. On this podcast, you’ll discover how to release the energetic patterns holding you back — whether you realize they’re there or not — so you can: Reclaim your energy without burning out. Amplify the impact of the healing work you already do. Build a practice — and a life — on a foundation of energetic clarity, ease, and sovereignty. Through practical tips, transformational teachings, inspiring stories, and conversations with fellow healers and wellness professionals, you’ll learn how to thrive in your calling without sacrificing your well-being. It’s time to stop carrying what isn’t yours. It’s time to rise into your true transformational power. Welcome to Break Free from the Burnout. Interested in appearing on the show?

Lora Cheadle on Betrayal, Burnout, and Reclaiming Your Energy After Trauma

What if the exhaustion you're carrying isn't about your schedule at all — but a betrayal you haven't even named yet?In this episode of Break Free from the Burnout, Dr. Anastasia Chopelas sits down with attorney-turned-somatic-healing practitioner Lora Cheadle to unpack the real difference between burnout from overwork and burnout rooted in betrayal trauma. Lora explains how betrayal — the breaking of an expectation you relied on — shows up in the body, why high-achieving women are especially prone to internalizing it, and how her concept of "flaunt" (full expression instead of collapse) helps release what's been held in the gut, shoulders, and mind. The conversation moves through unconscious agreements, questioning inherited beliefs, and why grieving before healing matters more than rushing to fix it. Lora also shares her betrayal recovery guide, built around small, sequential steps rather than an all-at-once overhaul.Ready to reconnect with yourself before chasing the next goal?

Why Shorter Workouts Beat Traditional Training with PJ Glassey

What if 21 minutes could do more for your body than three and a half hours in the gym?On this episode of Break Free from the Burnout, Dr. Anastasia Chopelas sits down with PJ Glassey, founder of X-Gym, who has spent decades questioning mainstream fitness advice and testing what actually works. PJ explains why traditional sets and reps were built for 1890s bodybuilders, not busy adults, and how his time-under-tension method combines strength, endurance, and cardio in a single short session. He and Anastasia also get into the psychology of motivation — why "away from" goals fizzle out while "toward" goals stick — and how PJ's 16 brain-type quiz helps people work with their own wiring instead of against it. The conversation closes with PJ's top five longevity habits: movement, nutrition, sleep, brain training, and close relationships.If you're tired of exercise advice that doesn't fit your actual life, this one's for you.

The Hidden Intelligence of Trauma: Complex PTSD, Dissociation, and Healing

What if the trauma patterns keeping you stuck are also the doorway to your deepest healing?In this episode, Dr. Anastasia speaks with Dr. Kirsten Viola Harrison — trauma psychologist and spiritual integration expert with over 25 years of experience in complex PTSD, dissociation, and near-death experiences. They look closely at what's really happening beneath the surface of trauma, why so many healers and wellness practitioners quietly burn out, and what genuine healing looks like when clinical depth meets soul work.Dr. Harrison explains how projective identification works in the treatment room, why surrendering to a benevolent healing energy is the antidote to holding on too tightly, and how the quantum field connects to what clients experience during dissociation and near-death states. If you've been absorbing your clients' emotional weight without realizing it, this conversation offers a clear, grounded framework for protecting your energy while staying fully present.Check out her book we talked about on this episode: click hereWhen you're ready to clear old relationship patterns and restore your energetic foundation, visit scientifichealer.com/relationship for the free five-step relationship healing protocol.Show notes at https://www.breakfreefromtheburnout.comDiscover your energy leaks.

You Are Already Enough: Releasing the 'Not Enough' Narrative for Working Moms

Do you wake up already feeling behind — caught between being a present mom and an ambitious professional, and somehow falling short at both?In this conversation, Dr. Anastasia Chopelas speaks with international life coach Rebecca Olson about the quiet drain living inside so many working mothers: the belief that you are simply not enough. Rebecca shares how her own motherhood identity crisis — triggered by pregnancy with her first child — set her on a year-long self-discovery process that eventually became her life's work.They walk through why work-life balance is first an internal state, not a scheduling fix; how the "not enough" narrative quietly shapes decisions, energy, and self-worth; and why redefining what success means to you — on your own terms — shifts the whole picture.Rebecca's free Daily Kickstart is a 10-minute daily practice to build a steadier internal dialogue around your own enoughness.

From Invisible to In-Demand: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome and Building Real Authority

What if staying invisible has less to do with your strategy and more to do with how you see yourself?Dr. Anastasia Chopelas sits down with expert authority coach Christine Blosdale — five-time bestselling author and award-winning media expert — to talk about what actually keeps talented healers, coaches, and entrepreneurs stuck in self-doubt and unseen by the people they're meant to serve. Christine shares how imposter syndrome most often shows up in overachievers, why building visibility without a clear business foundation leads to burnout and confusion, and what it actually means to step into authority from an authentic place. She introduces her media kit approach as a practical tool for remembering your own value, and explains why picking a focused lane — rather than trying to serve everyone — is what makes a personal brand genuinely magnetic. Dr. Anastasia also shares her own early days of podcasting as a deeply introverted writer who nearly said no to the whole thing.If you've been doing the work and still feel overlooked, this conversation points toward something worth examining.Take Christine's free Expert Authority Quiz at expertauthorityquiz.com.

The Loving Light of the Sun: How Far Infrared Energy Supports Detox, Vitality, and Renewal

What if one of the most effective tools for restoring your energy isn't a supplement, a protocol, or a mindset shift — but a specific wavelength of light your body already knows how to use?Dr. Anastasia Chopelas sits down with Philip A. Wilson, whose path from mathematics and a kundalini awakening led him through four decades of natural health work and, eventually, to the science of far infrared light. Philip explains why the four-to-fourteen-micron wavelength range is so significant — it matches the frequency at which human water molecules vibrate, meaning the body absorbs it deeply rather than resisting it. He shares how this supports detoxification at the cellular level, raises core body temperature in a way that mirrors the body's own fever response, and increases structured water in the body by up to 100% within minutes. Dr. Anastasia brings her physics background to the conversation, and together they explore what this technology means for people experiencing fatigue, long COVID, chronic depletion, and the quiet wear of years of high-output service.If you've been running on fumes and wondering what you haven't tried yet, this conversation points toward something worth exploring.Visit relaxsaunas.com and use code ANA for $100 off.

The Conflict Crunch: How Gratitude and Self-Awareness Can Shift Your Hardest Relationships

What if the conflicts wearing you down are actually pointing you toward something you haven't yet faced in yourself?In this conversation, Dr. Anastasia Chopelas sits down with conflict resolution specialist and longtime friend, Phyllis Olins, whose book The Conflict Crunch: How to Turn Conflict Into Opportunity releases September 23, 2026. Drawing on 30 years of professional work in schools and communities — and a practice rooted in gratitude and energetic awareness — Phyllis shares how even the most difficult conflicts can open the way to genuine clarity, healthy boundaries, and personal sovereignty.They discuss why the mind, like the body, runs on a binary system, and how that pull toward the negative throws us out of alignment. Phyllis shares the story that started it all: Mrs. Luna, a mother of 16, who chose praise in the middle of hardship — and changed how Phyllis understood conflict forever. The conversation also covers projection, the unity of body, mind, and spirit, and why accepting your own faults is often the fastest path to peace in your relationships.Find Phyllis at conflictcrunch.com.

Bending Time: How to Get More Done Without Burning Out

What if your time problem isn't really a time problem — but a clarity problem in disguise?Dr. Anastasia Chopelas sits down with speaker, coach, and former attorney Michelle Nemeyer, who spent 20 years in a high-performing legal career before an autoimmune diagnosis stopped her in her tracks and sent her looking for real answers. Michelle shares how burnout rarely arrives all at once — more like a lobster slowly being cooked — and how she traced her own recovery back to a handful of overlooked fundamentals: clarity on what lights you up, cutting internal and external time drains, and aligning your goals with what you actually want rather than what you were told you should want. Her framework, the Art of Bending Time, isn't about squeezing more into your day. It's about expanding what's possible within the time you already have. She and Dr. Anastasia also explore how flow state, physical health, and genuine alignment all feed directly into how effectively you can work — and how much you enjoy doing it.If you've been spinning your wheels and wondering why, this conversation offers a grounded, practical place to start.Text CLARITY to 33777 for Michelle's free guided meditation and journaling prompts.

Fire Yourself: How to Build Income That Works While You Rest

What if your exhaustion isn't just about working too hard — but about working in a system that was never designed to give you real freedom?Dr. Anastasia Chopelas sits down with investor and author Bronson Hill, who left a high-earning medical sales career to build a life funded by passive income. Bronson shares how he replaced his working income through real estate, alternative assets, and what he calls "mailbox money" — income generated without trading hours for dollars. He breaks down why most people's idea of passive income still isn't truly passive, how oil and gas investments carry tax advantages most people have never heard of, and why starting small is far wiser than waiting until everything feels ready. He also speaks candidly about the fear of leaving a steady paycheck and the identity shift that comes when you realize you no longer need the job.For wellness practitioners and entrepreneurs who sense that financial stress is quietly draining their vitality — this conversation opens a practical door.Text INFLATION to 33777 to receive Bronson's free guide on using inflation to your financial advantage.

When the Brain and the Energy Field Work Together: Neuroscience Meets Healing

What if your exhaustion isn't just about your schedule or your workload — but about how your brain is actually wired to function right now?Dr. Anastasia Chopelas sits down with Dr. Amy Albright, who spent over two decades weaving neuroscience, spirituality, and energetic alignment into a single coherent approach to human performance. Dr. Amy shares how a spontaneous spiritual awakening at age 18 — while she was a committed atheist studying cognitive science — permanently shifted the direction of her work. She explains how neurofeedback therapy can change measurable brain patterns in milliseconds, reaching below conscious thought to address burnout, chronic disconnection, and stuck identity. She and Dr. Anastasia also explore how intuition isn't a gift reserved for a few — it's a biological capacity built into every human nervous system, one that atrophies when we stop using it. A client story of rapid, lasting change after a 40-hour intensive brings the work into vivid focus.If you've done the inner work and still feel like something in your system isn't responding, this conversation offers a genuinely different angle.Visit Dr. Amy's website for her free three-step grounding download (https://www.holonexperience.com/).
