In this episode, Halie & Jerek explore the essential relationship between nervous system healing & leadership development. Drawing from lived experience, somatic practice, & organizational insight, they unpack what it means to lead from an organized nervous system—where coherence, attunement, & agency take the place of burnout, reactivity, & self-abandonment.
They discuss the difference between regulation & attunement, how urgency is often a nervous system state (not just a scheduling issue), & how trauma patterns like fawning, freezing, or overachieving quietly impact how leaders show up.
The conversation also touches on many other themes & practices including self-forgiveness, repairing our internal relationships, & the power of somatic spaciousness.
This episode is a balm for visionary leaders seeking to evolve from urgency into embodied presence—offering insight, permission, & a powerful reminder that coherence begins within.
