When Pushing Through Stops Working

For anyone tired of feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck.

You’re not broken.
Your nervous system is just out of sync—and you can’t think, plan, or push your way out of it.

 

Hi, I’m Carolyn Kubena, Nervous System Specialist


 I'll show you how to work with your biology—not fight against it—so you can feel clear, powerful, and deeply connected again.

When Your System’s On Overdrive

 You might notice yourself feeling or acting in ways that don’t make sense—even to you. 

 

  • Looping thoughts: Ruminating, second-guessing, or replaying conversations. Feeling mentally stuck and unable to turn things off.
  • Always on edge: Agitated, anxious, over-reactive, feeling all over the place emotionally—or constantly bracing for something.
  • Strained relationships: Craving connection but feeling drained by people. Unsure who to trust. Tired of being the strong one.
  • Burnout and exhaustion: Running on empty, pushing through, and still feeling like it’s not enough. Rest doesn’t help.
  • Physical symptoms that don’t go away: Tension and pain, disrupted sleep, headaches, gut issues. Fatigue that won’t lift.

 

These aren’t personality flaws or signs of weakness.
They’re signs your nervous system needs a new approach—and you can learn how.

 

It’s absolutely possible to feel better!

How It Gets Better

Inside yourself:

  • You stop feeling like you have to outrun your own life.
  • You quiet the mind’s chatter and make room to breathe, think, and trust your next step.
  • Your body restores itself—deeper rest, steadier energy, real alignment.
  • A quiet joy returns—like a part of you finally waking back up.

In your relationships:

  • You respond with steadiness instead of reacting on impulse.
  • You connect with ease and authenticity, without resentment simmering underneath.
  • You protect your energy—giving without draining yourself dry.
  • You share the emotional load instead of carrying it all—building trust and respect.

 

This isn’t magic. It’s the wisdom of your body—finally heard.

Carolyn gave me my life back and helped me thrive through an impossible family situation.

 “I was in a very dark place when I met Carolyn, struggling with a family situation that felt impossible and hopeless.

Carolyn unlocked inner strengths I didn’t even realize I had, helping me not just survive, but genuinely thrive through this difficulty. She gave me my life back.

Just last night, I experienced a situation that, only months ago, would have sent me spiraling into hopelessness. I finished the evening feeling strong, resilient, and at peace, rather than broken and vulnerable.

Thank you, Carolyn, from the bottom of my heart, for giving me simple yet powerful tools that actually work—without years of therapy.”

Lori Hammond, Hypnosis Trainer

★★★★★

Carolyn’s work gave me clarity, calm, and a whole new way to heal.

 “Working with Carolyn Kubena was a truly powerful experience. Her approach offered me a completely new way to heal past wounds—one that felt both deeply insightful and incredibly supportive.

Through our sessions, I gained a much better understanding of myself and my emotions, and I left feeling more calm, centered, and grounded than I had in a long time.

Carolyn has a unique ability to hold space with compassion and clarity, and her guidance helped me access parts of myself I hadn’t fully understood before.

I highly recommend her services to anyone who is ready to understand themselves more deeply and grow in meaningful, lasting ways.”

Andrea Schwieger, Business Owner

★★★★★

Carolyn helped me feel completely seen, accepted, and free to be myself.

“I am grateful every day for finding Carolyn to guide me on my journey to self-acceptance and spiritual growth. Her compassionate, unwavering support has been transformative, helping me cultivate a more meaningful spiritual life.

Carolyn has an incredible way of creating a safe space where I feel completely seen and accepted, allowing me to explore even the most vulnerable parts of myself—the ones I’ve hidden for so long. In her presence, I feel free from judgment and embraced for who I truly am.

Through her gentle guidance, I’ve gained a deep understanding of my pain, made peace with the messy parts, and found joy in the progress toward self-love and acceptance.

Carolyn’s partnership has been a profound gift on my path to healing. I truly can’t imagine this journey without her support.”

Kathy Lofgren, CEO

★★★★★

In just five sessions, Carolyn helped me slow down, release pain, and live more fully.

 “Words cannot express the full impact Carolyn has had on my life. In just five sessions, Carolyn taught me how to identify my triggers, learn to work through pain, and how to regulate my energy.

I suffered from physical pain before working with Carolyn, and through our work together, I was able to not only alleviate that pain in my mind but also learn how to handle the pain when it does come.

Carolyn is patient, intentional, and extremely caring. I recommend her to anyone who does not want to let their type-A, high-achieving, and high energy personality take over their life.

Carolyn will teach you to slow down and become more present in your life, and she will meet you where you are at.

I am so grateful for Carolyn, and I will continue to use the lessons I learned from her for the rest of my life!”

T.H., Berkeley Law Student

★★★★★

Carolyn’s unique holistic approach gave me freedom, self-trust, and deep healing.

“Carolyn is exceptional! What sets her apart is her unique approach, which goes beyond traditional talk therapy and habit-modifying techniques that often feel like never-ending battles. She’s worked with me using various holistic methods which have proven to be incredibly effective.

Her skilled guidance of a psychedelic journey amplified the healing effects of the plant medicine, allowing me to better process long held grief through my system. This has brought a burgeoning freedom and bolstered my self-trust. It’s allowed me to be more present in my life.

She’s also taught me how to work in harmony with my nervous system, enabling me to relax more easily and tap into my inner wisdom.

Her intuition is remarkable, and she has an uncanny ability to bring clarity to confusion. I trust her completely and deeply appreciate her unwavering support and warm presence. I’m eagerly looking forward to continuing my work with Carolyn and wholeheartedly recommend her.”

Sarah Harrison, Artist

My Approach: What Makes This Work Different

Some things can’t be untangled through thinking alone.
To shift the nervous system, we have to work directly with it!

I’m a Nervous System Specialist with training in leading edge psychotherapies that are body-based. My approach blends modern psychology and neuroscience with grounded, body-centered techniques that help your system release what it’s been carrying—often for years.

This isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about learning to collaborate with your body, not against it—so you can finally break free of old survival patterns, build real empowerment, and create lasting change.

This is where the shift begins—not by thinking harder, but by finally listening to what your body’s been trying to say all along.

Learn More About How I Work

Why I Do This Work

I know what it’s like to build a life that looks good on the outside but leaves you feeling disconnected and overwhelmed inside.

Years ago, I was living and working abroad as an international businesswoman while raising two children.

Then a personal crisis brought me to my knees—and sent me searching, desperate to heal myself and my family.

That turning point pulled me into a whole new way of living and working—one that helped me come home to myself and fall in love with life again.

This work continues to shape how I live, lead, and love—and it’s my honor to share it with others.
