How to Prioritize Your Nervous System as a High Achiever

If you're constantly pushing yourself to do more but still feel anxious, overwhelmed, or exhausted, this episode is for you. I'm sharing why your nervous system—not your productivity—is the real foundation for feeling calm, balanced, and confident. You'll learn how chronic stress keeps your body stuck in survival mode and three practical, realistic ways to regulate your nervous system, even if your life feels busy or out of control.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why focusing only on goals and productivity can keep you stuck in survival mode
• Three practical ways to regulate your nervous system using your body, environment, and thoughts
• How small, consistent shifts create more calm, clarity, and resilience over time
