E79. Fear Is Making Your Business Decisions For You With Sherri Ponisi
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Your nervous system is running your business. And not in a good way.
If you've ever made a decision from a place of panic, said yes to the wrong client because you were scared of the quiet, or doom scrolled for an hour and felt worse after, this episode is going to hit close to home.
Kimberley sits down with Sherri Ponisi, breathwork facilitator, former hairdresser of 20 years and ex-salon owner, to talk about what's actually going on in your body when you're stressed, burnt out and still trying to run a business.
In this episode:
- Why fear is just an emotion stored in your body (and what to actually do with it)
- The difference between burnout and needing to slow down (they are not the same thing)
- Why doomscrolling is making your anxiety worse, not better
- What breathwork actually is, explained simply with zero intimidation
- A grounding exercise you can do in your car after a horrible phone call
- How to audit the people around you the same way you audit your business
- Why the decisions you make when your nervous system is dysregulated are almost always the wrong ones
If you've been running at 100 miles an hour and wondering why nothing feels right, this episode will make a lot of things click.
