The power of language: How your words shape your life and results
Whether it’s insomnia, fatigue or hot flushes giving you grief lately, you’ve probably been searching for a diet or a brand new supplement to solve the problem right? But what if the real solution isn't physical at all? What if it's about the energy within us and how our words literally shape the results we achieve?Most of us focus solely on the physical—what I call the "3D level." Diets, supplements, lab results, routines. But there's something extraordinary happening on an energetic level that we're completely missing.In my workshops, I often hear limitations embedded in people's language. Language reveals beliefs and these beliefs shape our outcomes. If you doubt something will work, it most likely won't. It's not just about energy behind the words, it's the actions we take based on those beliefs.Whatever challenge you’re facing at the moment, be it a health challenge or something to do with your business or your personal life, take notice of the language you use around it. When you find yourself speaking negatively, ask yourself why and how you might be limiting yourself. By changing this internal conversation, you’ll allow positive actions and outcomes to take root.The words you choose shape your reality and many of our long-held beliefs are simply thoughts that have been with us so long that we believe them. Have your words influenced your performance or health goals? I'd love to hear your experiences.LINKSDouble Your Energy Masterclass:https://peak-revival.captivate.fm/yt-masterclassWebsite: www.vesnahrsto.com Mentioned in this episode:Buh-Bye Burnout

Confession: I Don’t Like Biohacking. Here’s What Actually Works.
Ice baths at 5 am. Glucose monitors tracking every bite. Oura Rings dictating your bedtime. As high-performing women, we've turned wellness into another performance sport and honestly? I'm not into it.A lot of women I speak to are keen to learn more about biohacking principles and while some of the tools and strategies are beneficial, there's a fundamental truth we're overlooking: your body's innate wisdom.Biohacking glorifies optimisation at all costs and when our focus leans too heavily that way, we lose connection to the body's natural intelligence. We forget that our bodies know how to heal and adapt. I’m not against biohacking completely, but my biggest concern is that the emphasis on external aids shifts our focus away from our body's self-regulating system. Trusting and tuning into this internal wisdom allows us to navigate health choices more intuitively.I've dabbled with biohacking tools like glucose monitors for temporary insights but I believe our body's wisdom outweighs data from any device. By aligning with our inherent intelligence, we can achieve higher levels of health that no amount of technology can replicate.How does biohacking resonate with you? Does it seem beneficial, or just another source of stress? I'd love to hear your experiences.LINKSDouble Your Energy Masterclass:https://peak-revival.captivate.fm/yt-masterclassWebsite: www.vesnahrsto.com Mentioned in this episode:Buh-Bye Burnout

Why Soft Power is the New Leadership Edge for Women
Hustle culture told women we could do it all, but instead of feeling empowered, we feel like we're failing at everything. We're not breaking the glass ceiling—we're heading straight into burnout. The promise of "having it all" has left ambitious women exhausted, overwhelmed and questioning whether this is really what success looks like. But something's shifting. Today's ambitious women are redefining power entirely, and it's not about being the loudest voice in the room anymore—it's about being the calmest. The future of leadership isn't about grinding harder; it's about working wiser through what I call "soft power."Today we're exploring what soft power actually means and why it's the calm, wiser alternative to the typical grind. We discuss moving away from traditional, male-driven leadership styles and dive into Harvard's research showing that leaders with high emotional intelligence significantly outperform their peers. We explore the intuition factor and why we need to trust our gut feelings over purely logical reasoning. We also cover the power of empathy in leadership and how emotional intelligence helps cut through chaos to give us clarity when the heat is on.We're talking about redefining success on your own terms without sacrificing health or personal relationships. This isn't about settling for less; it's about striving for success that values both achievement and wellbeing. We explore how maintaining balance through adequate sleep, balanced nutrition and stress management enhances emotional intelligence and influences our interactions with others. Remember, a busy mind doesn't always equal a productive life—it's about maintaining clarity and a peaceful headspace to harness these powerful skills.Are you ready to shift the paradigm and find success your way?LINKSPrevious episode mentioned: The 5 drivers that keep High-performing women pushing, even when exhaustedDouble Your Energy Masterclass:https://peak-revival.captivate.fm/yt-masterclassWebsite: www.vesnahrsto.comMentioned in this episode:Buh-Bye Burnout

Is your body stuck in danger mode? This symptom says it all
Is your body stuck in danger mode? I hear from so many women who feel overwhelmingly exhausted, often attributing this fatigue to all the stressors and responsibilities in their everyday life. But is it really just the hustle and bustle bringing you down, or is your body trying to tell you something more? This isn't just about running on empty; it's about how our bodies respond to stress and what happens when our mitochondria, those tiny energy-generating superheroes in our cells, go into hibernation.Today we're exploring the signs that you're stuck in this mode and why it feels like you've been hit by a bus no matter how much rest you get, how much you exercise or how well you eat. We discuss mitochondrial dysfunction and the cell danger response, where your cells essentially hit the "pause" button to protect you. The symptoms can be really similar to chronic fatigue or menopause, but they actually overlap because they stem from the same response—your body has one major way to communicate that it's overwhelmed, and we've got to listen to those signals.The good news is you can hit the reset button on your body with some manageable changes. We cover reducing stress through calming practices, incorporating routines that respect your natural body rhythms, choosing whole nutrient-rich foods that support healing at the cellular level and finding joy in movement. We also explore how adapting to natural rhythms like consistent sun exposure and good sleep patterns helps your body feel safe again, allowing you to shift from survival mode to thriving mode.LINKSDouble Your Energy Masterclass:https://peak-revival.captivate.fm/yt-masterclassWebsite: www.vesnahrsto.com Mentioned in this episode:Buh-Bye Burnout

The Gut Fix That Helped My Client Feel Happy and Confident Again
Did you know there's a direct link between your mood and your gut health? I've seen this connection transform lives, including a recent client who felt happy and confident once more after going through a gut repair programme, breaking free from constant emotional ups and downs. When we're riding an emotional rollercoaster, we usually blame external factors, but sometimes the sneaky culprit is much closer to home. Today we're exploring what this "gut fix" looks like and why gut health can make a world of difference to your state of mind. Research shows that gut bacteria greatly influence mood and anxiety levels—if your gut is inflamed, your brain feels the same. We discuss what disrupts our microbiome (stress, poor diet, chemicals, medications) and why we advocate for clean, whole foods while limiting processed foods, alcohol, caffeine and sugar during repair.If managing mood swings with traditional methods hasn't worked, it's time to consider your gut health. We cover calming cortisol first, ensuring proper stomach acids and enzymes, how high-fat diets can alter the microbiome, incorporating prebiotic foods and why supporting the liver and adding quality probiotics helps restore gut harmony. The gut is truly a cornerstone of health we can't overlook.LINKSDouble Your Energy Masterclass:https://peak-revival.captivate.fm/yt-masterclassWebsite: www.vesnahrsto.com Mentioned in this episode:Buh-Bye Burnout
