What if your “lack of motivation,” “indecision,” or “overwhelm” isn’t personal failure…
but simply your nervous system trying to keep you safe?
In this episode, my co-host Sam Shrosbree and I break down one of the most misunderstood reasons smart, high-achieving people stay stuck: nervous system dysregulation.
You’re not lazy.
You’re not broken.
You’re not doing it wrong.
You’re dysregulated—and that changes everything.
We explore:
- What nervous system dysregulation actually looks + feels like
- Signs you're dysregulated (& might not know it)
- The hidden connection between procrastination, burnout, and survival mode
- How what happens in your mind affects your body
- How regulation leads to clarity, creativity, and forward movement
If you’re stuck in a cycle of starting, stopping, and second-guessing… this episode is a must.
