There was a time at the start of my career when I genuinely thought something was wrong with me.
I wanted more. I dreamed of impact. I wanted to FEEL and experience freedom through my work.
But I couldn’t seem to move.
I'd sit down to work on my vision… and suddenly, I’d scroll. Avoid. Distract Numb
Overcommit to everyone but myself.
Say yes to misaligned work, when I meant no.
Push harder… then crash.
Start something… then ghost it.
Pretend I didn’t care about wealth, because honestly, I thought it wasn't meant for me....so I made money bad!
I told myself stories like:
✨ “Why is everyone else moving forward,and I’m stuck?”
✨ “Maybe I’m not cut out for this.”
✨ “I should just be grateful for what I have.”
✨ “I won't realise my dreams —and that’s terrifying.”
What I didn’t know then was that my nervous system was doing exactly what it thought it needed to do to keep me safe.
I wasn’t broken.
I was stuck in fight, flight, freeze, and fawn.
The overworking? Fight.
The avoidance? Flight.
The procrastination? Freeze.
The people-pleasing? Fawn.
I couldn’t create momentum because my body was in survival.
I couldn’t hold the vision because my identity hadn’t caught up to my desires.
And I couldn’t rewire it with more mindset work—I had to go deeper.
When I started working with the nervous system, rewriting the beliefs underneath my patterns, and anchoring into a new identity that actually felt safe to embody…everything changed.
I started to show up without overthinking.
I made decisions with clarity instead of fear.
I felt powerful without the hustle.
My wealth expanded. My relationships deepened. My life stretched to the edges of what I’d always hoped was possible.
But it started with an awareness and a choice.
A decision to no longer let old protection patterns dictate my future andd the courage to ask for support that saw all of me—not just my goals, but the fears beneath them.
This is exactly what I teach inside The Aligned Leader Collaborative.
Because we don’t just need more strategy—we need safety in our bodies to rise.
If this is where you are… I see you.
There’s another way.
You don’t have to carry it alone anymore.
