In today’s high-pressure world, sustainable leadership requires more than mindset…it demands a regulated and resourced nervous system.
If you’re navigating a season of growth, uncertainty, visibility, or simply trying to lead without burning out… this episode is here to support you. I’m joined by nervous system expert and somatic healer Sarah Tacy for a deeply nourishing conversation on what it means to lead from your body’s wisdom, expand your capacity, and build success that actually feels good.
We go beyond buzzwords and into the real work of attunement, emotion, and embodied capacity — so you can stay grounded in uncertainty, make clear aligned decisions, and root your leadership in sustainability.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why your body is your “no BS GPS” — and how to start listening
- The key difference between regulation and resonance (and why that shift matters)
- How to navigate “double binds” — those moments where you feel both I must and I can’t
- Practical on-ramp rituals to return to self in moments of stress or overwhelm
- The hidden link between performative achievement and burnout cycles
- Why honoring your emotional range is the key to sustainable leadership
- Plus, Gene Key insights on Gene Key 12 and Gene Key 6 to ground this wisdom in your soul's blueprint
This conversation is for the visionaries — the women and leaders building bold work in the world, who are ready to anchor their success in deep replenishment rather than depletion.
