Why High Achievers Can't Relax & How To Fix It
Why High Achievers Can’t Relax (And How to Fix It)
If you’ve ever had a calm day — nothing urgent, nothing on fire — and instead of enjoying it, you felt guilty, restless, or like you were falling behind… this episode is for you.
That feeling doesn’t mean you’re lazy.
It doesn’t mean something is wrong with you.
It means your nervous system has been trained to associate stress with safety.
In this episode, I’m breaking down why peace can feel uncomfortable for high achievers — especially women who are used to carrying a lot — and how to rewire your nervous system so you can have more money, less stress, and actually enjoy your life.
You’ll hear:
-
Why high achievers confuse calm with “falling behind”
-
How this pattern shows up (clear calendars, anxiety when things are good, only resting after exhaustion)
-
What’s actually happening in the brain and nervous system
-
Why procrastination isn’t laziness — it’s a freeze response
-
The hidden cost of living in survival mode (in money, leadership, health, and relationships)
-
Why the real shift is calm first, change second
-
How nervous system regulation makes you more productive, focused, and creative
-
A guided tapping sequence to help your body feel safe with ease and success
I’ll also walk you through a short tapping practice you can use anytime you notice yourself feeling uneasy when things slow down.
