Why Your Nervous System is Blocking Your Success | with Natalie Hummel and Emily Duncan
What if your drive for perfection is actually the thing holding you back? In this powerful episode, I sit down with high-performance nervous system coach Natalie Hummel to unpack how unresolved nervous system patterns can limit success, even in the most disciplined and ambitious women.
Natalie shares her journey from Olympic equestrian dreams to body shutdown, and how nervous system healing became the missing link in achieving real performance breakthroughs. This is the conversation every high achiever needs to hear…especially if you're tired of doing all the right things but still feel stuck at the same level.
You’ll learn:
- What the “nervous system set point” is and how it blocks success
- How ego-based perfectionism can keep high performers stuck
- Why nervous system capacity (not motivation) is the key to next-level performance
- How to identify your emotional “set point” and safely expand it
- Practical tools to build resilience, emotional safety, and flow state on demand
Whether you're an entrepreneur, athlete, or leader, this episode will show you how to stop self-sabotaging and start operating from embodied excellence.
