In this episode, I share a pattern I have lived inside for years without fully seeing it. Not because I was unaware but because it was woven into my identity.

That pattern? Hypervigilance.

Always scanning, bracing, managing. Always "on".

I didn’t associate what I was experiencing with that word until I heard it named. And when I did, something unlocked. It reframed years of trying to fix myself through more training, more information, and more effort.

In this conversation, I explore how hypervigilance shapes the way we lead, the way we build, and the way we create. How it keeps us in reactivity. How it severs our connection to intuition, creativity, vitality, and spiritual guidance. And how it becomes normalized as “just the way things are” when in reality, it is a survival pattern asking to be healed.

If your life or business feels driven by constant doing, constant checking, and constant control, this episode is an invitation to pause and look more honestly at what is underneath that pace.

Because the future you are trying to build cannot be created from the same state that once kept you safe.

I also share an opening for a private partnership beginning late winter into spring for the woman who knows she is here to make an imprint and is ready to lead and build in a new way.
