A lot of many high-achieving women are stuck in cycles that feel personal—but are actually patterns of survival. Overgiving, overworking, staying quiet, or doing it all alone… these aren’t just habits. They’re adaptations.

In this episode, I finally introduce something I’ve been working on for a while: the Uncaged Stress Impact Assessment—a powerful quiz to help you uncover which stress archetype has been running your life.

I walk you through the 4 KAGE types:

• The Fixer

• The Overachiever

• The Self-Silencer

• The Soloist

These aren’t personality traits. They’re survival patterns rooted in stress. And when we name them, we begin to reclaim ourselves.

I created this because I needed it myself—and I know you do too. Because you’re not broken. You’ve just been adapting. And now it’s time to break the cage.

🔍 What This Episode Covers:

• What the 4 KAGE stress archetypes are and how they form

• Why naming your pattern is the first step toward healing

• How stress hijacks your nervous system and rewires your behavior
