Finding Flow State
by Steph Ellen
This is Finding Flow State—the podcast for deep feelers and high performers who are done with toxic positivity, hustle culture, and surface-level self-help.Hosted by trauma-informed performance coach Steph Ellen, each episode is a no-BS deep dive into the nervous system, subconscious mind, and the messy, magical process of thriving as a highly sensitive high achiever.You’ll learn practical tools from somatic psychology, neuroscience, shadow work, and subconscious reprogramming to regulate your nervous system, heal from the inside out, and build the kind of embodied resilience that doesn’t rely on white-knuckling your way through life (sorry David Goggins)Because sensitivity isn’t a flaw—it’s a portal to power. And your healing doesn’t have to look perfect to be effective.

ABOUT THIS SHOW
This is Finding Flow State—the podcast for deep feelers and high performers who are done with toxic positivity, hustle culture, and surface-level self-help.Hosted by trauma-informed performance coach Steph Ellen, each episode is a no-BS deep dive into the nervous system, subconscious mind, and the messy, magical process of thriving as a highly sensitive high achiever.You’ll learn practical tools from somatic psychology, neuroscience, shadow work, and subconscious reprogramming to regulate your nervous system, heal from the inside out, and build the kind of embodied resilience that doesn’t rely on white-knuckling your way through life (sorry David Goggins)Because sensitivity isn’t a flaw—it’s a portal to power. And your healing doesn’t have to look perfect to be effective.

Steph Ellen
