In this episode, I’m joined by Danik Bernier, a certified EMDR therapist turned nervous system coach and 5/2 Splenic Projector. As we approach the end of the year, many of us feel the pressure to hit milestones or set massive goals for 2026, which can inadvertently trigger our body’s survival mode. Danik and I discuss how to navigate this expansion without falling into our "not-self" patterns or shutting down completely.

We explore:

• How your not-self theme acts as a signal for survival mode
• Why the body perceives exciting, highly-desired goals as a threat
• How “making your challenge boring" expands your capacity for big moves
• An easy technique to neutralize your specific threat windows
• When to use regulation tools to improve your results
• Practical tools for business owners to manage stress over big goals and time off

Chapters:

• (00:00) Nervous System Regulation for 2026
• (03:13) The Human Design Not-Self and End-of-Year Pressure
• (07:25) Projector Burnout and The Undefined Solar Plexus
• (11:58) Why Thriving Businesses Should Feel Boring
• (15:15) Distinguishing Genuine Alignment from Survival Mode
• (18:18) The "Movie" Visualization Technique for Launches
• (22:04) Identifying Your Specific Threat Window
• (29:32) 3 Simple Nervous System Regulation Tools
• (33:14) Closing Thoughts on Embodied Safety

If you’re a 6/2 profile, the tension between your natural leadership role and your comfortable hermit cave is probably deeply familiar. In this episode, I’m sitting down with Christian Malarciuc, a 6/2 Generator, Coach, and former client, to discuss our unique experience as 6/2 business owners. We explore:

• Why standard advice is misaligned for 6/2s (and how we’re truly designed to approach marketing and sales)
• The transition from the 3rd line trial-and-error phase to the 6th line roof
• Why defining “what you do” is so challenging for 2nd lines
• Navigating content and offer creation as people with “slower” timing
• Why 6th lines should focus on building worlds, not solving problems
• How to embrace a softer, more easeful approach to creation
