In this powerful episode of Success to Soul, Dr. Tanya Prewitt-White sits down with executive coach, former Team USA athlete, and functional health practitioner Tiffeny Parker for a transformative conversation about performance, burnout, emotional regulation, and the often-overlooked power of sitting in neutral.

Drawing from her experience as a Team USA track and field athlete, Team USA bobsled competitor, executive coach, and functional medicine practitioner, Tiffeny shares how high achievers can become trapped in a cycle of constant performance, productivity, and achievement while becoming increasingly disconnected from themselves. Together, Tanya and Tiffeny explore self-leadership, emotional intelligence, recovery, nervous system regulation, burnout prevention, and why true success requires more than simply doing more.

The conversation dives into the similarities between elite athletes and corporate leaders, the dangers of chasing constant dopamine hits through achievement, and why many high-performing women struggle to pause, recover, and honor their emotional needs. Tiffeny introduces her powerful concept of "sitting in neutral," explaining how learning to stay present with emotions, transitions, and uncertainty creates greater resilience, clarity, and sustainable success.

They also discuss functional medicine, hormone health, adrenal fatigue, nervous system regulation, mineral imbalances, menopause, executive performance, and the importance of treating the whole person rather than simply managing symptoms. Through practical insights and personal stories, listeners will learn how physical health, emotional well-being, and leadership effectiveness are deeply connected.

If you've ever felt exhausted despite your success, struggled to slow down, or wondered how to create sustainable high performance without sacrificing yourself in the process, this episode offers a refreshing and powerful perspective on what it truly means to thrive.
