S4-Episode 1: How Dysregulation Is Fuelling Your Struggle
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.
