Tasha and Brandon and their membership - the Village- have been a lifeline for me over the last few months, which personally have been incredibly difficult.

They work with recovering perfectionists, folks struggling with burnout and high-achieving humans who are navigating complex life circumstances (clcs) and have lost themselves along the way.

If you have ever felt exhausted and overwhelmed by the everyday, and crave some clarity and some space to pursue the goals you've pushed to one side, this is the conversation for you.

Although they don't work in the non-diet space per say, they work with humans who feel they always need to be doing more, being more, hustling more - a very relevant theme in this dieting culture, where "discipline", "restriction" and extreme thinness is celebrated above all else. *

In part 1 of our conversation, we touched on the following topics:

• What qualifies as a "complex life circumstance"? I thought I was just making excuses.
• How can we honour our capacity whilst still providing for and caring for others? How would it feel not to be NICE but instead to be kind?
• How to start pushing back? What are the initial steps?
• Nervous System Regulation - why is it so important to recovery from burnout or overwhelm?

We hope you enjoy this chat as much as we did.

*Tasha and Brandon Skillin are trauma-informed coaches and creators of The Complex Life Circumstances approach to nervous system regulation. They help high-achieving humans — especially those navigating AuDHD, cPTSD, parenting logistics, chronic illness and unpredictable energy, build a life they deserve and a business they love without abandoning themselves.

Their work centres nervous system capacity over discipline, self-loyalty over hustle, and adaptability over perfection. Their coaching frameworks blend neuroscience, lived experience, and values-driven strategy to create change that actually fits real life, usually in a way that doesn’t fit the “standard rules.”

They believe your CLCs aren’t excuses, they’re the context for everything. And once you learn to work with them instead of against them, progress becomes not just possible again, but inevitable.
