3 Signs Your Nervous System Is Sabotaging Your Business


Listen Later

You're not lazy. You're not undisciplined. Your nervous system is running the show—and it's keeping you stuck. In this episode, I'm breaking down three specific signs that your nervous system is sabotaging your business growth: sitting in waiting mode instead of taking action, obsessing over details that keep you hidden, and making reactive business decisions that don't align with your vision. I'm getting real about my own experiences with each of these—including a very recent panic decision I almost made that would've cost my team a month of work for zero strategic gain. In This Episode:
  • Why entrepreneurs are especially vulnerable to nervous system dysregulation
  • The difference between strategic pause and freeze response
  • How perfectionism is actually a nervous system protection mechanism
  • Why you're spending hours on your website instead of reaching out to clients
  • The sneaky way "productivity" keeps you invisible
  • How to recognize when you're making decisions from panic vs. strategy
  • Practical tools to regulate before you execute
