Burnout To All Out Podcast

Parenthood is one of the most demanding life transitions, yet it remains one of the least supported phases in the workplace, especially for women starting families after age 35. In this episode, Dr. Anjali Agrawal, founder of Back in Balance and an integrative chiropractor and functional nutrition specialist, shares why pregnancy, postpartum, and the return-to-work period are silent drivers of burnout, disengagement, and attrition.
Drawing from 18+ years of clinical practice, corporate wellness experience, and her own journey as a mother, Dr. Anjali introduces her Five Trimesters of Health framework. She explains how proactive, nervous-system-centered support can protect leadership pipelines, strengthen culture, and help employees stay engaged through one of life’s most critical transitions. This conversation bridges personal health, workplace performance, and long-term retention with practical strategies leaders can apply immediately.

Policies alone don’t address real pregnancy and postpartum needs

In this episode of the Burnout to All Out Podcast, Melissa sits down with longtime real estate investor and renovation expert Shelley Visser, an Elevate 360 mastermind member with nearly 30 years of house-flipping experience. Shelley pulls back the curtain on what really happens behind the drywall and why flipping houses is not a TV show, it’s a business.
From her first flip in 2008 right before the housing crash, to learning costly lessons through trial and error, Shelley shares the hard-earned systems, mindset shifts, and strategies that helped her flip with confidence instead of chaos. This conversation is equal parts practical, honest, and refreshingly real, especially for anyone considering flipping without a construction background.
If you’ve ever underestimated renovation timelines, ignored slush funds, or thought flipping would be “easy,” this episode is your wake-up call and your roadmap.

You don’t need construction skills, you need the right team and systems

In this Elevate 360 Summit conversation, Melissa is joined by Christian Raphael, medical support clinical hypnotherapist, NIH study contributor, and creator of the Identity Blueprinting Method.
Christian shares how subconscious identity, nervous system regulation, and meaning-making shape our ability to scale, lead, and experience ease. Through storytelling, neuroscience-backed insights, and a live guided hypnotic experience, this session explores why mindset work alone often falls short — and how true transformation happens when the nervous system feels safe enough to expand.
Guided experience
Christian leads listeners through a short hypnotic exercise focused on relaxation, nervous system regulation, and reinforcing the belief:
“Day by day, in every way, I’m getting better and better.”
Takeaways
You can’t think your way out of an identity stored in the nervous system
Lasting success requires changing meaning, not just behavior
Survival-based identities keep entrepreneurs stuck despite effort
Nervous system regulation is essential for visibility, wealth, and ease
Hypnosis can help access the subconscious where identity is formed
Relaxation and embodiment create safety for growth and expansion
