Breaking the Rescuer Reflex - How to Lead Without Losing Yourself
Dr. Brittany McGeehan breaks down the Rescuer Reflex—a trauma-rooted leadership pattern—and shares how high-performing women can lead without abandoning themselves.
Welcome to Episode 1 of The Aligned Powerhouse Podcast! In this debut episode, Dr. Brittany McGeehan explores a core pattern she sees in high-achieving women: the Rescuer Reflex—the compulsion to fix, anticipate, and carry the emotional needs of everyone around you, often at the expense of your own wellbeing.
You’ll learn:
- Why overfunctioning isn’t leadership—it’s a nervous system reflex rooted in childhood
- How this pattern shows up at work and at home, especially in marriage and parenting
- What Dr. Brittany calls The Powerhouse Paradox—when the same traits that got you a seat at the table begin to erode your joy, connection, and intimacy
- The 3 steps to begin rewiring this response and stepping into sustainable, self-led leadership
This episode is for the executive woman who gets things done but secretly wonders if it’s costing her too much. It's not about being everything to everyone. It’s about staying connected to yourself—at work, at home, and in the mirror.
