Ep. 11: When Doing It All Stops Working: A Self-Care Reclamation with Theresa Steighner
Ever hit that point where you’re doing all the things, career, family, checklists on checklists, and still feel like something’s missing?
That was Theresa.
She was the glue holding everyone else together… until she realized she was unraveling.
In this episode, I sit down with empowerment coach Theresa Steighner, one of the OG inspirations for this podcast, who shares the real story behind her quiet unraveling and how one bold decision (hello, random retreat Google search) sparked a complete inner and outer life shift.
We go deep on what happens when you finally listen to that nudge that says, “There has to be more than this,” how healing your inner world changes everything in your outer world, and why self-care is not selfish, it’s strategic.
If you’ve been asking yourself “What’s next?” but feel too depleted to even dream bigger, this episode is your warm wake-up call.
And yes, successful career pivots don’t start with a resume update. They start with self-care. This is your proof.
What You’ll Hear:
How Theresa went from anxious autopilot to aligned and empowered (hint: it started with a yoga mat)
The exact moment she knew something had to change—and why it felt “intolerable”
What to do when guilt tries to block your self-care (yep, it will)
How one retreat snowballed into a whole new career (and life)
The game-changing question she used to make a major career decision (no spreadsheet required)
Why your feelings—not just your 401(k)—should shape your next move
Quote to Remember:
“I made the choice from a solid knowing. I knew where I felt valued. I knew where I felt like myself. And that’s where I stayed.”

Laura: So first off, how does it feel to have me read back your bio to you?
Theresa Steighner: I mean, it
Laura: I.
Theresa Steighner: amazing because as part of it says is like, I have walked this path. as you were kind of talking through what I do, I am like, yes, I was there. And now I have come so far in my journey and I want to share that with others. So it's really cool. Yeah. I.
Theresa's Journey: From Corporate Life to Self-Discovery
Laura: I love that, and I know this is about career pivots technically, but I am so curious when you say you've walked that path, can you tell us more about what that path is like and what your clients are usually going through by the time they find you?
Theresa Steighner: . I think back to kind of where I was maybe seven or eight years ago. And I was, you know, working full-time in a corporate career, two kids married, extended family, kind of helping and just feeling like I had to do basically everything. Like
Laura: Mm.
Theresa Steighner: I was exhausted, I was overwhelmed and I was, I was kind of going, I would say going through life.
On autopilot. Like just really just go, go, go going. And I could feel that I was starting to, just about, is this really all there is? Is this really what it's all about? And I was really craving. Deeper connection in my relationships. I was craving just to feel more, I don't know, just to feel like could actually relax, feel calmer, be more present, not feel exhausted all the time and not feel so overwhelmed.
It was almost like. There has to be more for me
Laura: Hmm.
Theresa Steighner: this. I started to think about my purpose, what am I really here to do? And again, I think it's that craving for close connection in my relationship. So with my children, with my husband, with my family, with my friends. It's almost like I woke up one day 'cause I was going through that autopilot and well, I woke up one day and I said, there has to be more.
The Turning Point: Embracing Self-Care
Theresa Steighner: And the way it happened for me was I was like, I have to go on a retreat. I don't
Laura: Okay.
Theresa Steighner: it was. I don't know why. It was like lightning striking me and I was like, I have to go on a retreat. I have to start taking care of myself. I heard it and I thought, okay, that's what I'm gonna do. And I started looking for retreats I found one, didn't know anybody, and I just went away for the weekend I really slowed down and I got quiet and I really just started listening to what is it that I really want? I knew I wanted more. I wasn't sure how to get it. I just took that first step. So that was kind of where I would say it started. It was like that, you know that point where I was like, there has to be more.
Laura: I think a lot of the listeners can relate to the feeling of, I'm working full time, but I still feel like I'm doing everything in the household. I'm craving close connections. And when you talk about, I. You heard it, you just heard the retreat. Can you take us through, like where were you? What was your state of mind?
Just really zoom into that moment.
Theresa Steighner: Mm-hmm. Yeah. I. I was, if I think back to how I was feeling, I was like so, well, I didn't know it at the time, but I was really anxious.
Laura: Mm-hmm.
Theresa Steighner: I was really overwhelmed. I wasn't sleeping. Like I would wake up at like, you know, four in the morning and think about all that I had to do on my to-do list. I would have these ruminating thoughts about things that weren't going well, my job seemed like it was too much and I wasn't really enjoying that. was craving a closer connection in my marriage and my relationship. I was craving a closer connection with my children. And I just felt kind of just a little bit shut down, kind of just feeling exhausted and overwhelmed.
And it was like I wasn't taking care of myself and,
Laura: Hmm.
Theresa Steighner: think I. You know, if I think back to taking care of yourself is is always like, well that's selfish.
Right? You can't put yourself first, you know, you have to put everyone else first and you have to do for everybody else. And, that's kind of how, you brought up and, so thinking about, well, I'm gonna do something for myself. I was like, first of all, I'm exhausted. Second of
Laura: Mm-hmm.
Theresa Steighner: am I gonna find the time?
Laura: Mm-hmm.
Theresa Steighner: third is like, well, I'd feel so guilty 'cause I wasn't doing. You know, that pile of laundry or those dishes or, you know, whatever else that was calling my name. And the retreat coming in was like, 'cause I can remember being on Google going, okay, there has to be a retreat close by. That was also the time that I kind of got reconnected back with Michelle and she was doing some workshops in the adult chair, and that was in Tennessee, but I found something that was within driving distance
Laura: Yeah. Sorry.
Overcoming Resistance and Prioritizing Self-Care
Laura: Can I, can I ask you real quick, because
Theresa Steighner: yeah.
Laura: I feel like some of our listeners are like. I'm with you, Theresa. I'm feeling all the things that you're talking about, and there was a voice that said, I need to take care of me. But then, like you said, there's that guilt, it's selfish for me to put myself first.
So what happened internally for you to actually get on Google and say, no, there's gotta be a retreat. So like what, from the point of like you were feeling guilty. For even think, for even thinking about you wanted to do something for yourself to like, no, I am looking for a retreat close by.
Like, walk us through, like what made you finally decide, yes, I'm doing this.
Theresa Steighner: I think it got to the point where it was no longer tolerable.
Laura: Hmm.
Theresa Steighner: So the way I was feeling, I could no longer be like, this is okay. It didn't feel okay. I had these little nudges. know, I wasn't sleeping, I was feeling tired. I was, you know, there was just kind of conflict going on with teenagers and my husband and myself. It was like a knowing deep inside that I was like, I know Things could be better. I know that I could have more, more joy and more fun. There was one thing I interviewed at work and I didn't get the job and, and I kind of got some feedback about it and they're like. Yeah. You know, you didn't seem that excited or you know, and I was like, thinking, not excited. I'm fun. I'm like, you know, my friends in college would be like, well, there fun. My kids are like, well, I don't really know that you're fun, mom. So I was like, I almost felt too, like I had lost the joy, like,
Laura: Ah.
Theresa Steighner: is the joy and the fun? It was that voice that just said, you gotta take care of yourself. Let's do a retreat. And it was one of those things where was a nudge, but because it felt intolerable.
Laura: Mm-hmm.
Theresa Steighner: I said, I've gotta do it.
I.
Laura: Okay. So for the listeners out there who are like, I am feeling what Theresa's feeling, I'm not sleeping well. I, what else did you say? Like everything felt like you had to do everything and you've.
Theresa Steighner: on me. Everything's on me. And that if someone else did it, I would have to redo it. And
Laura: Mm-hmm.
Theresa Steighner: just that control and not being able to let go and let other people do things. Yeah,
Laura: Yeah. So what would you say to a listener who's feeling all that, but it's not quite intolerable? I. Yet, what would you have to say to them? Or even like the younger version of you, like what would you say to the you of like seven years ago who was feeling all the things having nudges, but it wasn't quite intolerable yet?
Theresa Steighner: I think too, like I always had a vision, right? I always had in my mind, I. vision about what I wanted in life, because I can think back being in my late twenties and thinking about a, a career and a job that I wanted that was really around, you know, helping others or more around, you know, I'm like thinking, what am I really here to do? so I feel like once I kind of opened up to that to say there is more, i'm able to help others. I'm able to really be fulfilled in what I wanna do. And the other thing I would say is just, just take that first little step. If you have that nudge that there's more for you, you could feel better, you could have more connection, you can have more joy in your life.
Or you feel like something's missing. And that is definitely how I felt as well. for me that retreat was just the first step to say, I'm gonna start taking care of myself.
And in that weekend I made a commitment and I, when I came back and I said, I'm gonna do yoga three times a week. I'm gonna go to the Y, and I'm gonna make it a priority. And I just committed to it and started doing it. And then I grew from there into doing the coaching, doing the master coaching, going and getting my yoga certification. And I just found that the more that I took care of myself, the more my relationships improved, the more that I felt better, the more excitement and joy that I had in my life. And it just sort of started building, and really, to this you know, great place that I'm at right now.
Laura: I love that. And what I'm really hearing you say is that there isn't anything big or special to how it all started. It was really a matter of just listening to yourself and starting to take care of yourself and from there. You did the retreat. I.
Theresa Steighner: Mm-hmm.
Laura: you made a commitment to do yoga and then you
Theresa Steighner: and
Laura: three times a week.
Theresa Steighner: me. Everybody tried, you know, everything would get in the way, right? And you just have to be committed and you have to say, I'm gonna take care of myself because I'm important.
Laura: Mm-hmm.
Theresa Steighner: whole put your oxygen mask on before you help others on the airplane.
It's really starting to take care of yourself so that you can show up as a better you. then it elevates everyone around you as well.
Laura: You just said something really, I think, important to highlight, so you mentioned you made a commitment to yourself after the retreat. You made a commitment to yourself to do yoga three times a week, and then you said that. Everything or everyone tried to stop. You talk more about that because I can see some listeners making a commitment to take care of themselves and then something comes up that's kind of like, like resisting them being able to do the thing.
And they might be like, see, the universe says I shouldn't do it. So say more about, what was that like?
Theresa Steighner: Yeah, it's really about, prioritizing what you wanna do. So I had to put it on my schedule. I had to commit to showing up. And then there was always something about like, you know. there was something that my kids needed or that my husband needed, or just that I didn't, you know, I was at work all day, so I didn't feel like going.
So it was always a little bit of resistance. And you're also changing patterns, right? Well, if, if I'm saying I'm gonna go to yoga three times a week, well, I'm always home at this time. And so now we know where's mom, plus you have your inner resistance 'cause you're trying to change old, old patterns.
So it's really about valuing yourself and your self care to show up for yourself and have that discipline and really love for yourself to say, I'm gonna start taking care of myself I had to leave work on time. Maybe I had to prepare dinner ahead of time and, you know, it's in the crockpot or whatever.
It was just really preparing myself and setting myself up for success order to take care of myself and show up in a,
Laura: Okay.
Theresa Steighner: way.
Laura: I, I love that. Now walk us through, because you just said some really profound things, like talking about, you're having to redo patterns, talking about the inner resistance and also the outer resistance. You mentioned changing your patterns. What was that like?
Theresa Steighner: It was a journey.
The Impact of Inner Work on Career and Relationships
Theresa Steighner: Of the things I did was started working with a life coach.
Laura: Mm-hmm.
Theresa Steighner: I went to my retreat and then I started working with a life coach, and I will never forget, one of the things that she said to me at that retreat was, and it, it was so profound, yet so simple, is that I have everything I need within me and. I think sometimes people look outside themselves for validation, for support, for, you know, just that affirmation. They look at for that love, they look outside themselves. And when I heard that have everything inside of me that I need, it opened me up to a whole new world.
So from there really curious to learn more about myself, what are things that trigger me?
What are my beliefs? know, what are things that I'm looking for outside validation. Like it was, it was like a, it know that kind of, that deeper level to learn about myself. So self-care is one thing, right? Taking care of myself. And then it's like, okay, let's get more into that. Self-awareness. What are my patterns and what are my triggers? And so I worked with the life coach to do that for, you know, a year or so. And then I went into, um, my yoga training, which yoga is very, uh, you know, we talk a lot about the poses, but it's really about a journey into yourself as well. And so that was like the
Laura: The next layer.
Theresa Steighner: And then I found the coaching for the adult chair. I joined that coaching certification really as the next step in my journey in my learning, and it helped me to go even deeper. Right? So you talk about inner child work, understanding your triggers, understanding how you react rather than respond. and so I, you know, I uncovered a deep childhood wound of, uh, I don't matter . So I was looking out into the world for everybody else to let me know that I matter and that's a lot to put on somebody. So I worked through that childhood wounding learned that I was looking at others to help me with that and I really needed to grow and learn and heal that for myself. And once I started learning more about myself,
Laura: Mm-hmm.
Theresa Steighner: I was able to just show up So much more empowered, so much more loving and compassionate and caring, and absolutely. Changed my relationships, my relationships with myself, my relationships with my husband and my children and my family.
You know, my daughter is, in college and, you know, we could have conversations about boundaries and I was like, wow, if I was in my early twenties, I didn't even know it was until I was almost like 50. So, you know, it's been a journey to get me to where I am today.
Laura: I love everything that you just said and you just hit the nail on the head when you talked about all this internal work, because I can see some of our listeners might be like, I'm here because I thought this was a career podcast. Why are we talking about this internal. Stuff that I don't care about.
But then you said it beautifully. You said that as soon as you started to love on yourself and really work with that inner child, you started to show up more empowered. Your relationships changed, so. You talked a lot about the internal pivots, so to speak, that you had to do. So let's talk about, as you started to change internally and heal yourself, how did that start showing up in your external world in terms of how you started showing up in your career how you started showing up in your relationship.
Theresa Steighner: I would say a huge thing that showed up in my career was. The choice I made of where I was working. So I made a change to go into a new job, a new company where I really felt empowered. I felt appreciated. I felt valued. I felt like I had made, great relationships. I got to work on things that really were meaningful I worked for this company for a couple of years and this was, this was about five years ago.
This happened where I got the opportunity to go back to a company I'd worked for before in a higher level role, and a little bit more money. And I had to make the decision, do I go to back to this other company, which I, you know, it was a good company or do I stay in this company that I've been there two years that I just felt so empowered and so valued and like I was making such contribution I went and looked at where. Did I feel when I considered going back to this company, where did I feel the best about myself and about my career? And it was the company I was at. And then I was like, where did I feel the worst? And it was the company that was offering me the job to go back to. So I think that the work that I had done and where I was, I was at such a different place that I made that decision from such a different place of solid knowing. Knowing myself, knowing my worth, knowing what I was capable of, and made that decision. And it wasn't based on, yeah, I can maybe make a little bit more money over here, what is it that I really value is it that I really want? so I would say. That work I did had a huge impact my decisions and really, you know, giving me more of a fulfilling career and job. And from a relationship perspective, it's just, you know, so much deeper, so much more connection, so much more, conversations that are meaningful and grounded. And I know I'm saying maybe like saying too many fluffy words, but it's really like to have a relationship where you feel seen, you feel heard, you feel valued, you feel understood. Having those types of relationships now is so much different than what I had before, I would say biggest reason is because of the work that I've done for myself
Laura: Mm-hmm.
Theresa Steighner: and how I've shown up differently.
Laura: And just to show some contrast, because you talked about this decision that you were making, and most people, myself included, would probably have a spreadsheet, probably have a pros and cons list of like, why would I take this job versus that? And probably very like. In their head. And it sounds like because of all the inner work that you did, I love what you did.
You asked where do I feel the best at and where do I feel the worst at Now? Let's, yeah. I honestly, like, I have jumped many jobs. I don't think I've ever asked myself that question, so thank you, Theresa. Why is that important as opposed to listing? What are the benefits? What are what? The 401k like, what would you say to someone who's like.
Why does that matter? I have to support a family. So like, the money matters the most or the 401k or whatnot. Like what would you say to someone who thinks that way? I.
Theresa Steighner: Yeah, I can certainly understand why you would think that way, and I think sometimes, you know, money may come into the equation more depending on the job itself, but I feel like, taking into consideration your God, I should, how you feel in your, I almost wanna say your mental, emotional, physical state is so important because it impacts your life, like the stress level. and I would also say that . I was able to take that decision and that feeling, you know, coming from it, from an empowered, valued solid, and then I was able to grow my career even more. So I was able to show up in a way where I got noticed, I got recognition, I was able to build relationships. So I almost feel like money is important and I don't wanna downplay that, but your mental and physical health. Is almost more important.
Laura: Yeah.
Theresa Steighner: that and how you feel, it's gonna drive how you feel about it is gonna drive emotional, that physical wellbeing. I.
Laura: Yeah. And I love what you said about how maybe when you first made the decision, it didn't seem like, from a just pure external standpoint, right? You were talking about like this other job just made a little bit more and it wasn't clear, but it sounds like because you chose the one that you knew you felt better at later on.
In a way that you probably couldn't have imagined. You were able to grow your career and have more opportunities. So it sounds like that's really why, even if you're just purely, I care about my career, i'm a high performer, et cetera. That's really why criteria shouldn't just be about the external stuff, but actually more importantly, your mental and emotional wellbeing, because that's gonna make you feel empowered and valued and later on it will help you make decisions that will grow your career, whether it's with that company or not.
Theresa Steighner: Absolutely. Yes, absolutely. Totally agree.
Laura: I love that.
Theresa's Career Pivots and Lessons Learned
Laura: So now let's switch over to your specific career pivots and what that has looked like for you, even though you, honestly, you've covered a lot already. It sounds like your internal pivots kind of drove the external ones.
Theresa Steighner: Yeah.
Laura: you, can you think about looking from like a, a pure career standpoint now of all the many pivots that you've done?
Which is one that you look back and you're just like, whoa. I never could have seen that coming. And at the time it was so confusing. I had no idea what I was doing, and I'm so glad I went for it.
Theresa Steighner: I mean, I have been one that has moved from a lot of different industries, and so manufacturing, to consulting, to distribution, to back to manufacturing, into retail. And I think I have always been open to new things. So every, you know, every two years I'm like, what can I do next? But if I think about, a big change for me was, when I moved into retail and went into and this was like maybe 15 or so years into my career and I had worked in manufacturing and in process and doing different things and I was, when people would say to me, oh, you are in it, and I'd be like. I'm not in it.
So for some reason I had this and, and when I went into retail into an an IT role, I was kind of like went into it with like, yeah, I'm not really sure what I'm doing or why I am doing it. But what I've found, and I think a lot of people can relate to this, is as I moved into that different career, all of my. Transferable skills me to be successful. So I don't know that that's like
Laura: Hmm.
Theresa Steighner: as big of a, of a, of a jumping off point maybe. I feel like my internal work and my move into more of life coaching and yoga was probably a bigger pivot for me.
Laura: Mm-hmm.
Theresa Steighner: And that's really where I see my life's work and that's really where I see I wanna grow and it's. Gary as hell because I have worked in corporate America for for forever, right? And so that's where I've been successful. So I am, you know, experiencing success in my new career of coaching in yoga and helping women. It's really exciting. But I started to do that two or three years ago, I.
Laura: Mm-hmm.
Theresa Steighner: Yeah, it was pretty scary. 'cause I had only known kind of that corporate big company and so I would say that that was probably my biggest pivot.
Laura: You know what I love about your story though, Theresa, is to me, because you work so hard on your internal world, you were able to make, you were able to, first of all, ask yourself every two years. Oh, what's next? And then like be curious and pursue that. I mentioned that because I feel like for our generation and older, what our parents taught us and what school taught us was that you stay in that company and you stay there for like forever.
And I think the fact that you jumped every so often was probably pretty unique for the time. And I'm just curious, at any point when you were making these changes where you just kind of like, oh, I'm just following the curiosity or like, what was it like for you? Was there any fear at all?
By the way, I'm thinking about the listener who's like, she just thinks about every two years where she wants to go. Like, and it seems kind of like, and then she just went first. So like, walk us through one of those times where you were just like, yeah, I was just curious. What can I do now?
Theresa Steighner: So I, you know, sometimes it was within the same company
Laura: Mm-hmm.
Theresa Steighner: sometimes it was moving to a completely new company and I just got into this thought pattern where I was like, you know, every two years I'm like, what's next? What can I do? Where can I go? What can I be promoted to? I love doing something new. I really do. I love doing something new and I love growing. I love learning. I love experiencing different things. And again, there's still that like common thread of, who I am and what I bring to anything, right?
Laura: Mm-hmm.
Theresa Steighner: the organization, the, the excitement, there's the curiosity, there's the big picture thinking.
So no matter if I'm working with a client to kind of understand, well, what's your vision and how do you get to get from where you are now to where you wanna go in those kind of baby steps? Or if it's, you know, within a corporate job. And it's really about the process. Of how you get from where you are to where you wanna be and you need processes, you might need technology, you definitely need people. And you really have to understand relationships in order to be successful. And that to me, I think is the common thread that has allowed me to be able to learn and grow and do different things and be successful.
Laura: I love that. So for anyone listening who is like still thinking, why would I do this internal world stuff when I care about my career? Well, there's your answer. Theresa has just every two years made a commitment to just ask herself, how can I grow? And like followed her curiosity. And it seemed like you just flowed and it wasn't that.
Difficult for you to just follow the nudges once you did that first nudge with the retreat, so
Theresa Steighner: Yeah.
Laura: amazing, it's worth it to do your inner work basically is what I'm hearing.
Theresa Steighner: Absolutely. Yes.
Laura: Yeah.
Theresa Steighner: yes, it's huge. Yeah. It's, and it's so rewarding. It's absolutely a must. Yeah. I think everyone has to do it.
Laura: So for anyone who's like, okay, Theresa, I'm sold.
Practical Advice for Starting Your Inner Work
Laura: I guess I gotta look and do my inner work, but they've never done any of this before, what would you recommend to them? Where could they start?
Theresa Steighner: I think you could start just slowing down noticing. Just slow down and notice what's going on, how you're showing up. No judgment. No, I have to fix it. It's just slow down and notice and then start doing little things. Just, just start taking care of yourself. It could be small things. It could be. You know, a walk outside. It could be have a cup of tea. It could be anything where you just to slow down and notice take care of yourself in small ways. That's where I would start.
Laura: Okay. I love that. Slow down and self care, the two S's.
Theresa Steighner: Yes. Yes, exactly. And, and I think it's a journey, right? It's like an upward spiral. So you're continuing to learn and grow and you may take a step back and then a few steps forward, but you're always going, upward and growing in that journey.

Laura: Theresa, thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and your experience and your journey. If people are like, I really am feeling Theresa's vibe, how do I get to know her better? How can they get in touch with you?
Theresa Steighner: A couple of ways. So you can go to my website, it's peaceful wellbeing.com and I have a free self-care guide there so you can get the self-care guide. And you can get some of those ideas on how do I start to just take care of myself? I also have a free gentle yoga series, which is four weeks, over four weeks.
You get an email that has a five minute quick yoga practice and an intention, and I'll give that to you. You can put it in the show notes for the listeners. They can have that. then it also has on my website my coaching program Reclaim You, which is an eight week coaching program to really understand, you know, where you're at and then where you wanna go.
So it's, it's kind of that step by step to get you to whatever that vision is for, for your life, or at least just to start.
Laura: I love it. And Theresa, one last question that I like to ask all my. Guess before we end the show. If you were an item in a cafe, so it could be a drink or like a pastry or something like that, what would you be and why?
Theresa Steighner: Well, the first thing I'm just gonna go with the first thing that pops into my head, and it would be a hot cup of tea.
Laura: Ooh,
Theresa Steighner: Because I am warm and soothing.
Laura: that is just so in line with everything that we talked about. Any particular type of tea or any cup of tea.
Theresa Steighner: I like it would be, I, I've been drinking oolong tea that has all these adaptogens in it with lion's mane and Rishi and turmeric and ginger. So it would just be like a really soothing, calming, lovely cup of tea. Yeah.
Laura: Perfect. And with that, Theresa, again, thank you so much for being on the show and listeners, definitely check her out. She's amazing. And see you next time.
Theresa Steighner: Thank you.
