In episode #180 we we dive into the science of stress, burnout, and nervous system regulation with Rita Ainsworth, a trauma-informed resilience coach. Rita shares practical tools and insights on how understanding and working with your nervous system can transform stress into fuel for long-term success, especially for high achievers juggling demanding careers and athletic pursuits.
In this episode:
Rita Ainsworth is a trauma-informed human potential and resilience coach who helps high performers understand and work with their nervous system for better energy, clarity, and long-term performance. With a background in pharmacy, nervous system regulation, somatic and "parts" work, and years in high-pressure performance marketing, she bridges science and lived experience to show how stress becomes fuel, how freeze derails performance, and how self-leadership keeps high performers in their window of tolerance. Rita’s approach is grounded, practical, and deeply human, built on the belief that resilience comes from understanding your system, not fighting against it. When she’s not coaching, she loves hiking in the beautiful hills of Wales and England.
