Women in leadership are paying the emotional and energetic cost of success.

​

Behind the polished image, many are quietly stuck in patterns of proving, pleasing, and pushing through, habits that once drove achievement, but now erode authenticity, creativity, and well-being.

​

This isn't a motivation problem.

It's a nervous system problem.

 

And it's costing women more than they realize.

​

Dr. Tanya Berfield brings a science-meets-soul approach to leadership and resilience through her proprietary framework, The Mindset Medicine Method.

​

Her work integrates:

• neuroscience and nervous system regulation

• somatic practices that create real, felt change

• emotional intelligence and identity-level mindset shifts

• storytelling that helps women see themselves clearly, without shame

 

The result is not hype or hustle but presence, regulation, and sustainable leadership.

​

This is not a talk people simply listen to.

​

It's an experience that changes how women relate to pressure, success, and themselves.

​

After a session with Dr. Tanya, audiences walk away with:

• a felt sense of calm and grounding

• clarity around the patterns driving burnout and over-functioning

• practical tools to regulate stress and emotional overload

• renewed confidence rooted in authenticity, not performance

• permission to lead without self-abandonment

 

Women don't leave fired up.

​

They leave settled, clear, and more fully themselves.

​​

Flagship Keynote:

From Proving to Presence: Leading with Power and Purpose

In high-pressure professional environments, women are often rewarded for over-giving, over-functioning, and holding it all together...until the cost becomes impossible to ignore.

 

In this keynote, Dr. Tanya guides audiences through a powerful shift from performance based leadership to embodied, regulated presence.

​

Through science-backed insight, somatic practices, and story-driven reflection, participants learn how to:

• identify patters of proving and people-pleasing

• understand why willpower and motivation are not the solution

• reconnect with their nervous system as a source of clarity and power

• lead with grounded confidence instead of constant pressure

 

This keynote creates an immediate energetic shift in the room. One that carries through the rest of the event.

​
