Chelsea Tansey returns to discuss the intersection of faith, entrepreneurship, and overcoming scarcity mindset. She reveals powerful strategies to regulate your nervous system and reconnect with God when faced with anxiety as a high-achieving woman.
• Identifying when your nervous system is in "bear chase mode" causing anxiety and scarcity feelings
• Understanding that feelings aren't labels—you're not "an anxious person," you're experiencing temporary emotions
• Breaking free from avoidance masked as spirituality that prevents true emotional processing
• Creating a daily conviction process to anchor into empowerment rather than fear
• Recognizing spiritual warfare when you step into your divine calling
• Using scripture as a sword against enemy attacks rather than just as a Sunday accessory
• Making play, laughter, and joy non-negotiable parts of your daily routine
• Setting realistic expectations to avoid perpetual disappointment
• Building community support with like-minded women of faith

Discover the foundation of a life sculpted by dreams and defined by the boundaries we set. Welcome back to Built Not Born, with your host Chelsea Tansey, where we're peeling back the layers on what it means to safeguard your mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This episode promises to shift your perspective on boundaries from barriers to bridges, connecting you to a life of respect, trust, and self-improvement.
Have you ever felt like setting boundaries is synonymous with sparking conflict? Let's unravel that misconception together. In this empowering discussion, we navigate the tightrope of personal relationships and learn how articulating our limits can actually fortify bonds without igniting disputes. It's all about taking charge of our own actions and speaking from a place of self-awareness. I'll share strategies for navigating these sometimes tricky waters and give you a look into how recognizing and responding to boundary breaches can transform your relationships into secure, respectful connections.
In our final chapters, we tie the art of boundary setting to the essence of self-care and speaking our truest truths. Join me as I recount the life-altering benefits of embracing authenticity and how it magnetically attracts empowering connections. Through anecdotes and personal insights, I'll illustrate that asserting boundaries and having heart-to-heart conversations with ourselves isn't just about gaining respect from others—it's the highest form of self-love and the key to unlocking the authentic life you're meant to lead.

#99 - Confronting Hormonal Health: Beyond the Pill

Today, I'm inviting you into my personal journey with birth control and hormones. I was on the pill for a decade before I decided to seek a more natural way of controlling hormones. I was battling acne and the lack of information about the long-term effects of birth control had me worried. I started researching and found that hormones play a vital role in our health that extends beyond just our reproductive system. I'm going to share the insights I've gained through my personal experiences, and my ongoing battle with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
While birth control is a convenient form of contraception, it also introduces a level of stress into our bodies - and I'm not just talking about the daily grind. Prolonged trauma can have a significant impact on your hormonal health, manifesting as physical disease. So, I transitioned off the pill, and though challenging, it's a process that's taught me the importance of patience and dedication. I'll share my holistic approach to handling these changes and managing stress, which includes understanding how stress affects our gut microbiome and cortisol levels.
However, addressing hormonal health isn't just about medication or supplements; it's also about looking at lifestyle factors. In particular, it's important to address issues like stress and trauma that can contribute to hormonal imbalances. I’m going to give you honest advice on making lifestyle changes that I've found beneficial, and tips on maintaining a healthy diet. This episode is all about honoring our bodies, cycles, and the small but impactful changes we can make in our everyday lives. So, join me as we explore the less discussed side effects of birth control, and work towards a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.

After an exhausting week filled with travel, illness, and endless professional commitments, I found myself questioning the glorified hustle culture that many of us are conditioned to admire. In this episode of Built Not Born, we uncover how crucial it is to truly listen to our bodies amidst life's chaos. From the wisdom of the Oura ring to the powerful insights drawn from past experiences, I encourage you to reconsider how past habits shape your current health and challenge society's relentless push for productivity at any cost.
Navigating the entrepreneurial landscape often feels like a juggling act between personal well-being and business demands. We explore the signals our bodies send when they're on the brink of burnout, like jet lag and stress-induced ailments, and how vital it is to prioritize self-care. Let's rethink the culture that equates success with non-stop hustle and embrace a more sustainable approach—one where business goals align with long-term health and personal longevity.
Authenticity and faith in leadership take center stage as I share a personal experience of choosing heart over polish in public speaking. Discover how embracing imperfection can foster genuine connections and why authenticity is the key to meaningful leadership. With insights from Sarah Jakes Roberts and reflections on my own faith journey, we close the chapter with a heartwarming celebration of a significant milestone—777 downloads in one week.
