Unpacking Trauma, Survival Mode, and How It’s Quietly Driving Your Business. If you’ve ever felt like your business success is secretly fueled by anxiety, perfectionism, or needing to “prove” yourself, I think you're going to love this episode as much as I did.
I sat down with trauma therapist, Morgan Pommells to unpack the real reason high-achieving women entrepreneurs feel burnt out, resentful, or emotionally distant in their own business. This isn’t just mindset, it’s survival mode, and it’s showing up in how you lead.
Why You Should Listen
- Understand the Hidden Impact of Emotionally Immature Parenting: Learn how childhood dynamics may have quietly shaped your survival identity and how it shows up in how you lead, delegate, and over-function.
- Identify Your Trauma Response Patterns in Business: Discover how fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses manifest as burnout, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or total shutdown during launches and client delivery.
- Stop Hiring Your Parents: Unpack how transference and projection show up when hiring and why you might be subconsciously recreating the very dynamics you’re trying to escape.
- Regulate Your Nervous System for Sustainable Leadership: Get tools to stop reacting from urgency and start leading from safety, presence, and emotional regulation.
Discover why your drive to overdeliver, perfect, or control everything in your business isn’t ambition, it’s survival mode.
