Episode 53
“Fear of success is really worth noting because there are entrepreneurs that want to get visible and want to get out there and want to be more successful. Then you are more visible, the stakes get higher. … I think the real truth is, and you know I say this as an entrepreneur, but entrepreneurs are often dysregulated af, right?
There is a lot that goes into entrepreneurship. It’s one- wonderful. I couldn’t do anything else. It’s what I love to do. And there’s so much that you have to take on. You’re responsible for all of your own financial security and safety. You have to manage a team. You have to be visible. … I see a lot of entrepreneurs that get sick, because they don’t have the nervous system regulation tools and they don’t have the emotional regulation tools like Jennifer was talking about, the healthy releasing of emotions that needs to happen also with all of these highly charged events and they either get sick or they find themselves in a lot of really destructive, avoidance or numbing behaviors to relieve that stress.”
– Elisabeth Kristof, Co-Host and Founder of NeuroSomatic Intelligence Certification and Brain-Based Wellness
