What if You’re Already Enough? Why the Endless Search for the ‘Right Fix’ Is Draining You — and What to Do Instead

 “If I could just find the right supplement… maybe I’d feel like myself again.”
“There has to be a system out there that works for me.”
“I just need to figure out the perfect morning routine and everything will fall into place.”

Sound familiar?

If you’re an ambitious, spiritually-minded woman navigating brain fog, fatigue, or chronic pain, these thoughts probably cycle through your mind more often than you’d like to admit.

 Let me say the part most people skip:
If you’ve already taken care of the medical side—and still feel foggy, pressured, slow, or strangely “off”—you’re not imagining it.

For many women in midlife and beyond, brain fog, decision fatigue, or pain aren’t random annoyances. They’ve become part of the energy landscape you’re navigating every day.

 You’re not lazy. You’re not giving up. You’re trying. You’ve been trying.
Supplements, protocols, expert programs, influencer-endorsed hacks—you’ve probably got half a drawer full of hope and half a decade of disappointment.

But what if the truth is this:

👉 There is no “right fix.”
👉 There’s only learning how your energy actually works.
👉 And that’s the only place real clarity and sustainable energy will ever come from.

The truth is, chasing one-size-fits-all routine or hoping the next hack will finally “fix” you isn’t just ineffective—it’s exhausting. And it’s not your fault you’ve been stuck in this loop.

In this post, I’m going to show you:

• why this fix-it mindset keeps women like you trapped,

• how it's costing you more than just time and money,

• what you can do instead to reclaim your clarity, confidence, and life right now—without waiting for your symptoms to vanish.

 Let’s gently pull these myths apart and replace them with something much more honest, humane, and actually workable.

Ready? Let’s jump in.

Why This Myth Has Been So Easy to Believe (and Why You’re Not Alone)

First, let’s take the pressure off.

You’re smart. You’ve done your research. You care deeply about your health.
You’ve been taught—over and over again—that if you just optimize hard enough, your energy will bounce back.

Everywhere you look, the message is loud and shiny:

• “Reverse your brain fog in 30 days!”

• “This one supplement changed everything!”

• “Here’s the perfect morning routine for high energy!”

Social media, wellness influencers, supplement companies, and even holistic health experts paint a very seductive picture: if you just do all the right things, your body will heal itself, your energy will return, and life will finally begin again.

But what they’re really selling is a fantasy.

A fantasy that doesn’t include the messy, unpredictable, reality of brain fog, fatigue, or chronic pain.
A fantasy that’s profitable for the people selling it—and shame-inducing for the people chasing it.

 Why Believing This Myth Is Holding You Back

Let’s talk about what it actually costs you when you believe the myth of “the right fix.”

1. It steals your time.

   You keep waiting to feel better beforeyou pursue your next chapter. You postpone your dreams—writing the book, launching the business, taking the trip—until your body “cooperates.” But weeks turn into months, and months into years. Your “next chapter” years are spent preparing… for a life that never quite begins.

2. It erodes your confidence.

   You don’t trust yourself to say yes to opportunities, because what if you have fatigue? What if you can’t follow through? When you don’t trust your body, everything becomes “later”.

3. It narrows your identity.

   You’ve become “the woman who’s trying to get better.” You’ve lost touch with the woman who still has a calling, creative spark, and a voice.

4. It drains your resources.

   Money. Time. Emotional bandwidth. All spent chasing protocols that ultimately don’t last. That energy could be going toward building something that does.

5. It invites shame.

   Every time something doesn’t work, you don’t blame the method—you blame yourself. “I must be doing it wrong.” “I’m not disciplined enough.” “Maybe I don’t want it badly enough.”

Sound familiar?

Then keep reading—because what’s actually true will feel like a deep exhale.

 What’s Actually True (And Why Knowing This Sets You Free)

Here’s the truth that set me—and so many of my clients—free:

Energy isn’t something to fix. It’s something to understand and work with strategically.

 Your body is not broken.
Your symptoms are not failures.
Your lack of “results” isn’t because you’re not trying hard enough.

You’re simply trying to apply someone else’s blueprint to your completely unique energy system. And it’s not working because it was never designed to.

When I stopped chasing solutions and started aligning with my natural Energy Mode—supported by somatic practices—things began to shift.

✨ My decisions became clearer and more confident
✨ My body stopped being a problem to fix
✨ I stopped forcing my way through exhaustion and learned to work with my energy
✨ And even on my low-energy days, peace, purpose, and a hopeful future became possible again

It gave me back myself. Not the ‘optimized’ version — the real one.

What Can You Do Instead?

1.  Build a Tiered Energy Strategy

Instead of pushing through or shutting down, accept that your energy will vary.
Create three simple versions of your schedule.

Here’s what that might look like:

• High energy day: Write that newsletter, plan the trip, take a bold step in your business, say “yes” to a social activity

• Medium energy day: Brainstorm ideas, outline a section, rest between tasks.

• Low energy day: Rest, read, reflect, journal, move slowly, do small tasks that move things forward without burning you out.

💡 This is what strategic energy management looks like. Not every day has to be a hero’s journey. But every day counts.

Inside my paid program, the Right Time, Real You container, we map out your unique Energy Mode (think of it as your energetic blueprint — not a label, but a map of how you’re wired to operate), and build strategies to accommodate variable energy together, based on your Holistic BodyGraph. We’ll look at how your energy centers work together and contribute to the choices you make, so you can understand why some decisions feel aligned while others always drain you — even if they ‘should’ be exciting.

You'll move from powerless to purposeful in how you manage your energy.

 2. Shift From “Healing Goals” to “Quality of Life Now” Goals

The goal isn’t symptom elimination. It’s building a life that feels more meaningful and manageable—even with symptoms.

This is a mindset shift.

Instead of “I’ll know it’s working when my symptoms are gone,” try “I’ll know it’s working when my life feels more meaningful and manageable, even with symptoms.”

 Inside my coaching container, you’ll learn to map your decisions and plans to your natural decision-making style and energy mode. You’ll learn where your strengths and sensitivities are, and what “aligned decisions” look like for you.

3. Grieve What’s Gone, Reclaim What’s Possible

You are allowed to be sad about what you’ve lost.

• The body that could pull all-nighters

• The brain that didn’t misplace words mid-sentence

• The energy that used to feel bottomless.

 Grief doesn’t mean you’ve given up.
It means you’re finally telling the truth.

But you’re also allowed to feel excited about what’s still possible.

Acceptance and ambition- you can hold both.

4.  Treat Your Body Like a Partner, Not a Problem

Most women I work with feel like they’re in a constant argument with their body:

“Why are you doing this to me?”

Try shifting the question to:

“My body is doing the best it can right now.
What does it need from me?
What can I offer?”

This doesn’t magically erase symptoms.
But it dissolves conflict—and conflict is energy depleting.

In my Right Time, Real You container, We use your Holistic BodyGraph — a map of how your energy and decision-making systems naturally function — to understand where you're wired for flow, where friction arises, and how to stop pushing against your own design. We treat your body as partner, not obstacle. That relationship alone can change how you live your days.

 I know what can happen when women read a post like this.
The breath gets tight.
The shoulders rise.
And somewhere in the back of the mind, a small terrified voice whispers:

“Are you saying I should give up trying to feel better?”

I’m saying the opposite.

I’m saying your hope deserves a quieter, steadier home than the frantic search for a miracle.
You don’t have to abandon hope — you just don’t have to chase it anymore.

Before You Panic: Let’s Gently Unpack the Fears This Brings Up

“If I accept this, won’t I become lazy or unmotivated?”

OMG.
If I had a dollar for every ambitious, exhausted woman who whispered this to me…

Let me tell you gently:
Your worry about becoming lazy is the clearest proof that you’re not.

You’ve been running on grit for decades.
Your drive isn’t going anywhere.

When your actions come from self-respect rather than self-blame, they become more sustainable.

“If my energy isn’t fixable… what does that mean for my goals?”

I hear this one the most.

Here’s the truth:
Your goals don’t disappear.
They just stop demanding a version of you that no longer exists.

You’re not losing your ambition.
You’re learning how to pursue your next chapter with the body you actually have — not the body you had at 32, or the body wellness culture keeps promising you might get back if you work hard enough.

There is still a path forward.
It just looks different than you were taught to expect.

 This is exactly where the Holistic BodyGraph, somatic grounding, and ongoing support come in. Together, they give you:

• A map of your energy

• Body-based tools to calm your nervous system

• Real-time guidance as you test new ways of living inside your actual capacity

“If I stop looking for solutions, won’t my health get worse?”

This fear comes straight from survival mode.
When your body feels unpredictable, doing more feels like control.

But here’s what I’ve seen again and again:

When women stop fighting their bodies, their systems finally exhale.
Clarity returns.
Crashes soften.
The body stops bracing for the next round of self-improvement.

You’re not letting yourself slide.
You’re stepping out of a cycle that has been draining you for years.

 “Isn’t accepting my limitations basically lowering my standards?”

Not at all.

It’s honoring reality.

Your standards don’t need to drop — your approach just needs to shift.

There’s dignity in choosing what’s real over what’s impossible.
