For many women, stress doesn’t come from one moment or mistake—it builds quietly in the relentless pace, the invisible expectations, and the pressure to keep performing and holding it all together. Over time, “just keep going” becomes the default, leaving little room to notice what’s actually driving you—or what your body has been trying to say.  In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I sat down with Dr. Ellen Wong, a naturopathic doctor and expert in high-functioning anxiety, for a grounded, honest conversation about what happens when perfectionism becomes your baseline and the cost of constantly chasing “enough.” Dr. Ellen Wong  and I talk about the toll of negative self-talk, the invisible pressure to do it all, and the physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms that so many women write off as “normal.” But this conversation isn’t just about stress—it’s about learning to interrupt the patterns that are keeping you stuck and building real tools for clarity, calm, and self-trust. Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode: ✨ What high-functioning anxiety actually looks like—and why it often goes unnoticed ✨ Why many successful women ignore the warning signs of burnout ✨ How overachievement becomes a coping mechanism—and how to break the cycle ✨ The real impact of perfectionism on your energy, identity, and health ✨ What it means to shift from survival mode to sustainable leadership If you’ve ever looked around and thought, “I’ve done everything I was supposed to—but something still feels off,” this episode will remind you: you’re not broken. And you’re not behind. You’re ready to build something deeper—starting with yourself. 🎧 Listen now [Insert episode link here] Connect with Dr. Ellen Wong: 📱 Instagram: @thejoyavenue 🌍 Website: drellenwong.com If this episode sparked something in you, I’d be so grateful if you left a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify—and shared it with someone who’s ready to trade pressure for purpose. ✨ WORK WITH CHANA ROSS! ✨   Are you an ambitious woman who is a leader at work, at home or in the community and you are looking for support with overcoming perfectionism, determining your next right step, overcoming self-doubt and learning to advocate for yourself and fall in love with the next version of you?
