If you’ve ever felt like you’re being bullied by your own thoughts while trying to run your business you want to listen to this episode.

In this episode, I’m talking about the inner critic. That mean, relentless voice that tells you you’re not doing enough, not good enough, or that everyone else has it figured out but you.

And if you're a sensitive, driven woman running a business online, this inner critic isn't just making you feel bad. It might be shaping your entire business - how you price, how you show up, and what you avoid doing.

📋 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why your inner critic isn’t actually you, but something you learned
• Why common advice like “just make friends with it” might backfire
• What makes it louder during slow seasons in business (and why it spirals)
• Why highly sensitive women can often struggle with a vicious inner critic

✅ Key Takeaways:

• Giving your body space to feel safe works against a harsh inner critic.
• A harsh internal critic is internalised conditioning that can be changed
• The louder it gets, the more your nervous system is likely dysregulated (plus what can change that)

If your business looks great on paper but you’re secretly fantasising about quitting it all and running away to sit under a tree, that’s one big way your body is calling for your attention. Too many women are running businesses that look good on the outside but leave them feeling hollow and numb on the inside.

In this episode, I make the case for why your business needs to feel good in your body, and how that is different from only doing things when it feels good. If you’ve been feeling disconnected or flat, like you’re ticking boxes in a business that technically works but doesn’t feel (or even sound or look) like you anymore, this one’s for you.

🎧 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why doing only what “feels good” can keep you stuck in sabotage
• How nervous system constriction quietly shapes your choices (and your burnout cycles)
• What it really takes to reconnect to your body’s truth
• The two key foundations every sustainable, soul-fed business needs

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Your sabotage patterns are smart (and could even mask as intuition)
• You can’t mindset your way out of a contracted nervous system.
• When your inner world matches how you show up in your business, that congruence becomes a superpower.

📌 Take Action:
➡️ Do the embodiment practice I share towards the end, to reconnect with your body’s wisdom

We’ve been told that being calm, cool, and collected is the goal. That if we want to be successful, magnetic, abundant we better get our emotions in check. But what if that’s the very thing keeping you stuck? What if the self-management you’ve been praised for… is actually self-abandonment?

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on the emotional control myth that so many driven women are living inside without even realizing it. I talk about the sneaky ways we micromanage ourselves in the name of “growth,” how that internal tension shows up in real life (like second-guessing every idea or hanging in the back of the room), and why your nervous system (and not your mindset) holds the key to an abundant life.

🧭 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why emotional suppression isn’t emotional mastery (and why it’s doing more harm than good)
• The subtle ways “self-control” becomes self-abandonment
• How micromanaging your inner world leads to disconnection, numbness, and eventually emotional burnout
• What embodiment actually means (hint: it’s not just “feeling your feelings”)
• The link between nervous system safety and your ability to receive (abundance, love, ease, all of it)

💥 Key Takeaways:

• Managing yourself isn’t the goal. Being yourself is.
• You can’t mindset your way into safety. Your nervous system will always win.
• Emotional suppression isn’t mature, it’s exhausting.
• Feeling safe to be who you are = the foundation for sustainable abundance.
• Wholeness is about bringing all of you home.

🌀 Take Action:
➡️ Stop trying to be "in control" of your emotions. Instead, notice where you're micromanaging yourself in real-time.
