You know that list of things you want - new clients, dream house, the car, the trip, and how some people just seem to call them in effortlessly?
It’s not luck.
It’s not even strategy.

It’s regulation.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why you cannot manifest (or close deals, land clients, or hit the next level) if your nervous system is dysregulated. 

I’ll share exactly how me and Antoine have manifested advisory roles, dream homes, a Tesla, and even trips to Asia, not from “working harder” but from doing the regulation work first.

Here’s what we’ll get into:
 → Why your body state is the foundation manifestation
 → How regulation unlocks actual capacity to take action on what you want
→ My personal process for getting regulated and into full embodied manifestation mode
→ Real-life examples of this working in both life and business

📍 Try my 3-step nervous system reset, the exact one I use before big pitches, decision-making, or manifesting anything.

The step-by-step reset for when you’re showing up but feel...like sh*t.

You’re technically working…
You’re answering emails, showing up to meetings, doing the thing.

But it all feels flat.
You’re exhausted. Numb. Disconnected.
And you have sooo much to do.

If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.

Inside, I break down:
 ✔ What functional freeze is and why it's behind burnout (and why no one talks about it)
✔ How it’s silently stalling your energy, execution, and motivation
✔ The subtle signs you're in freeze—even if everything “looks fine”
✔ A simple way to start thawing out and reconnecting with your business again

This isn’t burnout. It’s a nervous system state.
And once you know what to look for, you can actually shift it.

• 00:04 – What is functional freeze (real-world example)
  03:15 – Why this isn’t burnout—and how it hides in plain sight
  07:40 – What it feels like and how to know if it’s happening to you
  13:22 – How it wrecks your decision-making, execution, and energy
  18:15 – The ripple effect on your team and performance
  22:47 – How to catch it in real-time + daily questions to ask
  29:00 – The somatic reset I use with clients to defrost gently

If you hate mornings—or just feel like you’re dragging yourself through them—this episode is for you.

We all know the feeling. Waking up tired, stressed, or already overwhelmed by the day ahead. And if your mornings feel like a sprint you didn’t sign up for, it’s time to change the game.

In this episode, I’m breaking down my exact morning routine that I use to generate energy, clarity, and focus before the day even starts.

This isn’t just about productivity hacks or willpower. It’s about training your nervous system to work for you—not against you.

Here’s what I cover:
 ✔ Why the way you start your day impacts everything—your focus, your stress levels, and your revenue
 ✔ The specific steps I take to regulate my nervous system and boost energy (even when I wake up feeling like sh*t)
 ✔ How to make your mornings feel like a launchpad—not a hurdle
 ✔ The somatic exercises I use to ground, focus, and start my day feeling good
 ✔ How to use this routine to get your nervous system on board with your goals, instead of fighting against them

If you’ve been feeling drained before your day even starts, this episode will give you a step-by-step process to change that.

Your revenue problems aren’t because of your team's performance. They’re because of your nervous system.

If you wake up already bracing for what’s waiting in Slack…
If you plan to work on strategy, but end up firefighting execution issues instead…
If you’ve built systems, hired smart people, and things still aren’t moving fast enough…

Your team isn’t the problem. Your default stress response is.

Inside this episode, we cover:
- Why execution keeps breaking down—even with the right people in place
- How your nervous system state is directly controlling execution speed & revenue
- A simple somatic tracking exercise to start shifting things today

If you want execution to move faster, smoother, and without you constantly checking in, this is the shift you need.

And if you take anything away from today: learn to do somatic self-inquiry please!

If you secretly need someone to tell you you’re doing a good job just to believe you’re not screwing it all up—this one’s for you.

After years crushing it in corporate, Donna and Cheryl built a business from scratch. But the real shock? Losing the constant feedback loop—no performance reviews, no gold stars, no ‘great work’ emails—and realising they didn’t actually know how to trust themselves.

This episode is the real talk about why female founders crave validation (even when we think we’re confident) and how that craving silently slows down your decisions, messes with your leadership, and keeps you playing smaller than you realise.

Here’s what we get into:

• (01:24) From corporate besties to business partners—how they made the leap
• (03:53) The six months they spent with zero clients (and how they didn’t quit)
• (06:55) Why leaving corporate didn’t magically boost their confidence
• (10:54) Why being good at your job makes trusting yourself in business harder
• (14:13) The sneaky ways external validation still ran the show (and how they spotted it)
• (15:49) How they stopped looking for feedback—and started backing themselves
• (20:08) How to find proof you can do this—even if you’re too deep in self-doubt to see it
• (22:58) The pressure of being the first woman in your family to break the mold
• (27:11) Why you can’t ‘wake up’ people who aren’t ready—and why that’s none of your business
• (31:27) Why external validation will never make you feel like enough (and how to stop needing it)
• (36:08) What they teach inside ‘The Real You’—and why every founder needs to do this work

If you’re building a business but still secretly hoping someone will tell you you’re doing it ‘right,’ this is your wake-up call.

Go listen, then DM me: what’s one decision you’ve been holding off because you’re waiting for a sign?

If you’ve ever felt like building a business and leading a team means carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders—this one’s for you.

I sat down with Chiara Airoldi, co-founder and COO of Cloove, to talk about what it really takes to scale a startup, lead a team, and delegate without turning into a control freak. Chiara shares her journey from working in startups to building her own business, how she raised €400,000 in pre-seed funding, and the biggest lessons she’s learned about leadership, delegation, and building a team that actually takes ownership.

If you’ve ever found yourself micromanaging, struggling to let go of tasks, or feeling stuck in the operational weeds, Chiara breaks down the mindset shifts and systems that make all the difference.

We dive into:

(04:11) Why Chiara left the corporate world and what drew her to startups
(05:59) Raising €400K in pre-seed funding—and the biggest challenges that came next
(06:46) The hardest part of leading a team (hint: it’s not what you think)
(08:54) The one system every founder needs to avoid becoming a bottleneck
(12:35) How to hire people who take initiative (without just throwing money at the problem)
(16:21) The real reason founders struggle to let go of tasks—and how to shift that
(20:19) How to stop sweating small mistakes and focus on what actually moves the needle
(26:19) Managing team mistakes without damaging trust or morale
(32:08) Why standardization is your best friend—and the tool that changed the game for Chiara
(36:30) How Chiara finds time for personal development while running a startup

Chiara keeps it real about the challenges of leadership and how she’s grown as a founder—plus, she shares some practical ways to step out of reaction mode and into high-performance leadership.

If you’re building a team, scaling a business, or just trying to survive startup chaos, this is a must-listen.

Listen now and let me know what resonated most.

Ever feel like there’s an invisible pressure driving you to constantly do more? That subtle hum in the background, always telling you to keep moving, keep achieving—it’s not just in your head. In this episode, I’m sharing a recent live session where I unpacked the concept of chronic urgency: why so many of us experience it, how it’s been hardwired into us, and the ways it’s holding us back from true focus and peace.

I dive into:

• The color spectrum of emotional states and how to identify where you are.
• How urgency might have helped you succeed but now drains your energy.
• The difference between “good urgency” and the chronic, destructive kind.
• Practical tools like somatic resourcing and orienting to bring your body back to calm.
• Why learning to pause (and not doing the laundry) could transform how you show up every day.

Key Takeaway:
You don’t have to live in constant urgency to thrive. Pausing, feeling safe, and moving intentionally isn’t just possible—it’s essential.

Timestamp Highlights:
0:00 - Why urgency is the silent saboteur of your nervous system.
2:15 - What is “body fullness” and how I practice it daily.
4:30 - How developmental trauma creates chronic urgency in adulthood.
6:45 - The “air conditioning” of constant action: where it comes from and how to notice it.
9:00 - Tools to move from an urgent state to a calm, regulated one.
12:00 - Q&A: Managing overwhelm in high-pressure industries like Web3.

From Slack wars to leadership transparency, here’s how to make hybrid work… well, work.

In this episode, I’m chatting with Rory Brimmer, Director at Turo UK, about what it really takes to create a culture that doesn’t suck in a hybrid work environment. Rory’s journey is wild—from turning down a Big Four gig (mid-interview, no less) to jumping headfirst into startup life at Turo. Spoiler: it worked out.

We talk about why culture matters (like, really matters), how to build trust when half the team is remote, and the sneaky ways burnout creeps in when you’re leading from your kitchen table. Rory also spills on a brilliant idea called the “Great Debate,” where even interns bring game-changing ideas to the table.

If you’ve ever felt like hybrid work is a constant battle between flexibility and connection, this one’s for you. It’s equal parts relatable and packed with takeaways you can steal for your team.

Here’s What We Get Into:

• [5:28] Productivity Peaks – Why your 11pm “power hour” is valid and how to build schedules that actually work for humans.
• [10:17] Office vs. WFH – The real talk on why fully remote isn’t always the dream (but also why commutes suck).
• [17:27] Culture That Doesn’t Feel Forced – What makes people want to stay, even when there’s no free lunch in sight.
• [24:05] Transparency = Trust – How being radically open with your team (yes, even about the budget) changes everything.
• [33:52] Leap of Faith – Rory’s mic-drop moment in a Big Four interview and why startups turned out to be the perfect chaos for him.
• [42:57] The “Great Debate” Hack – The fun team ritual that brings unlikely ideas (and healthy conflict) to the surface.
• [50:08] Protecting Your Energy – Why being “always on” is overrated and how to block time like a pro leader.

It’s the perfect mix of practical tips, good vibes, and some solid perspective shifts on how to lead in a way that feels good—not draining.
