96: Transforming Trauma into Business Superpower with Farya Barlas

Nata Salvatori

This one’s going to hit home for the high-functioning, self-led, overachieving CEOs who are secretly exhausted. In this episode, Nata Salvatori welcomes trauma psychologist and founder of The Method, Farya Barla, for a deep conversation about the silent patterns running your business into the ground.

They talk about how trauma isn’t always loud or obvious. Sometimes it’s the reason you won’t ask for help. Sometimes it’s why you’re overdelivering and undercharging. Sometimes it’s what’s hiding under your pricing blocks or visibility fears.

Farya breaks down why so many identity upgrades fail without deeper trauma work, how nervous system dysregulation stops even the most strategic business from scaling, and what we can do instead. You’ll learn how to identify where your body feels unsafe with growth, and how to work with your nervous system (not against it).

It’s packed with insights, real-life examples, and the permission slip you didn’t know you needed.

Takeaways:

  • Self-abandonment is trauma
  • Business strategy without a nervous system work is incomplete
  • You can’t coach your way out of what your body believes is unsafe
  • True scalability starts with internal safety
