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
