The Create Your Day Podcast
You built something. You’re proud of it. And somehow you still end up at the end of most days feeling like you’re one missed deadline away from losing it.
The Create Your Day Podcast is where we figure that out together. Hosted by Jenn Cody, operational consultant, nervous system advocate, and your unofficial business therapist, this show is for the woman who’s done white-knuckling her way through growth and ready to lead from a place of actual clarity.
We go there. Strategy, identity, the messy middle, the moment you realize the business you built is running you instead of the other way around. No fluff. No toxic positivity. Just real conversation that meets you where you are and moves you forward.
Jenn’s work lives at the intersection of operational systems and nervous system regulation, because sustainable growth requires both. The inner work and the strategy have always belonged in the same room.
If you’re ready to stop surviving your own success, pull up a chair.

We explore how understanding our nervous system can help us combat burnout, anxiety, and overwhelm. The episode covers various nervous system states, the concept of "functional freeze," and provides actionable strategies for creating calmness and resilience in daily life.
Key Points Discussed
- Different types of nervous system responses: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn
- Introduction to "functional freeze" and its link to burnout

- Daily practices for nervous system regulation
Takeaway quotes:
"Burnout isn't just about being too busy or working too hard. It's often a sign that our nervous system is out of balance and needs some attention and care."
"The goal isn't to eliminate stress entirely – that's not possible or even desirable. The goal is to build your capacity to handle stress and to create more balance in your nervous system."
