98: You Are Not Your Hustle: Healing the High-Achiever Business Pattern with Renee Bowen

Nata Salvatori

In this raw and real episode, Nata Salvatori is joined by trauma-informed coach and photographer Renee Bowen for a conversation that cuts through the surface. They unpack what’s hiding beneath your to-do list: nervous system dysregulation, unconscious money stories, and the invisible weight so many high-achieving women carry.

Renee shares her journey from a small-town Louisiana girl with a psych degree and two dogs to a multi-passionate CEO in LA running two successful businesses. They dive deep into the psychological and somatic patterns that keep founders stuck in overfunctioning — and how to untangle them without losing your edge.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for loving multiple things, worried about raising your prices, or wondered why you’re the only one who can’t seem to let go, this episode will feel like a permission slip and a pattern interrupt. You’ll walk away with practical insights on nervous system regulation, leadership identity, and building a business that supports your whole self.

Takeaways:

  • Why many high-capacity women are operating in survival mode without even knowing it
  • How nervous system work directly impacts your pricing, productivity, and peace
  • Tools for reconnecting with your identity beyond your business
  • Why you don’t need to earn your rest or prove your worth to charge premium prices
