44 minutes Posted Jun 30, 2026 at 9:00 am.
Some women wait until burnout forces them to slow down. Others get a warning from their bodies and keep pushing anyway. This conversation is a reminder that stress does not simply disappear. It settles into the body, waits patiently, and eventually asks to be heard.In this episode of Amiga Handle Your Shit, Jackie Tapia sits down with Eugenia Jansen, founder of Golden Lotus Gardens, former banking executive, and holistic practitioner specializing in craniosacral therapy, prenatal and postnatal care, fascia release, lymphatic work, and energy healing. Eugenia shares how a successful career in banking led her to a breaking point, including a series of mini-strokes caused by chronic stress, and how that experience completely changed the direction of her life.What makes this conversation so powerful is Eugenia's belief that the body carries far more than physical tension. She explains how emotions, trauma, grief, and even family patterns can become stored in the body and influence how we feel physically and emotionally. Through stories from her practice and her personal journey, she offers a different perspective on healing, one rooted in listening rather than fighting.Eugenia also opens up about the work she now does alongside her husband, helping everyone from pregnant mothers and newborns to cancer patients, athletes, and people navigating major life transitions. From understanding stress and nervous system overload to exploring the connection between emotional wellbeing and physical health, this is a conversation about learning to trust the wisdom of your body.Tune in to episode 287 of Amiga Handle Your Shit for a fascinating conversation about stress, healing, intuition, and why taking care of yourself is not selfish; it's necessary.Episode Takeaways:How a successful banking career led Eugenia to burnout, mini-strokes, and a complete life change
