How to Know If You're Dysregulated in Business (And how to move through it)
Â
Hey love, I need to be real with you about something.Â
For the longest time, I believed that business was supposed to be hard. I was stuck in cycles of perfectionism, people-pleasing, overachieving, and self-criticism. I thought I was just being a "high achiever" or that my drive was simply part of who I was. It wasn’t until I started doing this deeper work that I realized: these patterns weren’t just habits or things I was “stuck with” — they were protective responses from my nervous system.
Perfectionism? It’s a trauma response — a protective mechanism my nervous system developed to keep me safe. It kept me in a constant state of striving because, if I didn’t get everything “right,” I felt like I was at risk. People-pleasing? Same thing. It’s a way to avoid conflict, rejection, or discomfort — again, driven by my nervous system trying to protect me from harm. And those money patterns I had, like fear of not having enough? That was my nervous system reacting to scarcity, making me believe I had to work harder or control everything to feel safe.
But here’s the thing: It’s not about your personality or your habits. These responses are deeply embedded in your nervous system. They’re survival patterns, designed to keep you safe, but they’re not serving you anymore. When your nervous system is out of balance, it’s not just affecting how you feel — it’s affecting your business, your decisions, and your ability to move forward with ease.
It wasn’t until I realized that my nervous system was running the show and started to regulate it that I was able to break free from these patterns. That’s when everything shifted. I could make decisions with confidence, show up fully in my business, and grow with more ease than I ever thought possible.
The nervous system is the key to unlocking your potential. When it’s regulated, everything flows. Your business becomes a reflection of your inner peace, and success doesn’t feel like a struggle anymore.
This quiz is designed to help you identify where your nervous system is at right now. Is it in fight, flight, freeze, fawn, or shut down mode? The good news is, once you understand this, you can shift it. And that’s when the magic happens — when you get back to a regulated, calm state, and your business follows.
By the end of this quiz, you’ll have clarity on where you’re getting stuck and a personalized action plan to move through it — so you can build your business with confidence and ease.Â
The next steps you’ll get will help you heal your nervous system and unlock your full potential to achieve the success you’ve been working so hard for — without the struggle.Â
