[Get Unblocked Series] Managing your Anxiety and Business Overwhelm, so you Can Think Clearly and Get Stuff Done EP365

Stop using overwhelm as a permission slip to do nothing. 

I know this sounds harsh, but in order to wake you up from subconscious limiting patterns that are getting in the way of you having the life and cash you crave, hard things must be said. 

It all seems like too much, you don’t know even where to begin, you feel your brain has 1000 tabs opens on a run down operating system….I’m not trying to say you don’t feel this way, what I’m trying to tell you is this way of looking at things IS NOT WORKING FOR YOU.

As someone diagnosed with PTSD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and depressive episodes…I am familiar with feeling anxious, stressed, and overwhelmed….but I have trained my self to not feed into it, to lean away from it instead of towards it. 

When something you’re trying to figure out feels like it a HUGE steep mountain, of course your first thought will be, “holy crap, how in the hell am I going to do to that without dying?”

Instead of focusing on the entire mountain, I want you to focus on the first quarter mile… as one of my old fitness coaches used to tell me, “anyone can do anything for 30 minutes.” (This was said on repeat, as I would complain before doing those damn rotating stairs.)

Break everything down in to smaller mini goals, any size that feels achievable to you. 

Let’s say you want to have a million dollar a year business like I have…well guess how I got here in four years, ONE DAMN DOLLAR AT A TIME. 

  1. What problems are you specifically helping people solve or improve?
  2. Who are these “people?” Why is it such a priority for them to have help in this area of their lives right now?
  3. What do they believe they need help with the most in order to get more of what they want?
  4. Now you package an offer based on these answers.

Yes there is more to it, but you’ve got to reach the quarter mile of the mountain climb, before you can reach the mile. 

Slow and steady always finishes the race, being fast and frenzied will end in failure.

Ep 785 Money, Fear & Your Nervous System: What’s Really Controlling Your Income PART FOUR: FAWN RESPONSE

You’re doing everything right.

You’re reliable, supportive, and easy to work with. You care about people. You go above and beyond.

But when it comes to money and success… something isn’t adding up.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re giving more than you’re receiving, struggling to ask for more, or holding back your voice to keep the peace — this episode explains why.

The fawn response is one of the most overlooked patterns when it comes to money. It shows up as people-pleasing, overdelivering, avoiding conflict, and prioritizing being liked over being paid.

And it quietly caps your income, your growth, and your ability to fully step into your next level.

In this episode, I break down how the fawn response affects your financial decisions, your career or business, and your relationship with money — backed by psychology, nervous system science, and real-world patterns.

Ep 784 Money, Fear & Your Nervous System: What’s Really Controlling Your Income PART THREE: FREEZE RESPONSE

If you’ve been feeling stuck, unmotivated, or like you just can’t get yourself to sell or take action in your business… this episode will explain exactly why.

What most people label as procrastination or lack of discipline is often a nervous system response called freeze, and it quietly impacts your income more than you realize.

In this episode, I break down how the freeze response shows up specifically around money, sales, and visibility. You’ll understand why you can know exactly what to do and still not do it, how your brain is wired to avoid perceived financial risk, and why your income can stall even when you’re “doing all the right things.”

This is where neuroscience, psychology, and money behavior intersect.

Ep 783 Money, Fear & Your Nervous System: What’s Really Controlling Your Income PART TWO: FLIGHT RESPONSE

You tell yourself you’ll deal with it later.
You’ll check your numbers tomorrow.
You’ll follow up next week.
You’ll finally get clear on your money “when things calm down.”

But that moment never seems to come.
And instead… you stay busy doing everything else.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the flight response with money — the pattern that looks like procrastination, distraction, or “being busy,” but is actually your nervous system trying to avoid discomfort.

This is part of a special series on money, fear, and your nervous system, where we uncover how fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses shape your income, business decisions, and ability to receive more.

Because avoiding money doesn’t mean you don’t care about it.
It usually means, on a deeper level…
it doesn’t feel safe.
