About Your Host, Dr. Athena Payne, D.C.

Hey beautiful! I'm Dr. Athena Payne, a chiropractor, brain-based wellness expert, and your new coffee-chat friend who truly gets the high-achiever struggle.

I used to be the queen of hustle culture—thinking grinding and pushing through was the only way to build a successful practice. I was that wired business owner, riding the emotional roller coaster of entrepreneurship while my nervous system ran on overdrive.

Then God showed me there was a better way. I discovered that real transformation doesn't come from doing more—it comes from becoming someone whose nervous system can rest in His peace and walk in His design.

Now I help high-achieving Christian women understand that they're not broken, they're just operating outside of how God designed their brains to function. And when we align our nervous systems with biblical truth? That's where the real magic happens.

TESTIMONIALS

"OMG!!! It just clicked... non-resistance is 'casting all your anxiety upon Him, because He cares for you' (1 Peter 5:7). Neuroplasticity is Romans 12:2 - 'be transformed by the renewing of your mind!' Dr. Payne helped me see that when we come into agreement with God's word, we literally get a hardware upgrade with transformed thinking!"
