What if the empire you’re building is really your nervous system’s way of begging for safety?

In this episode, I explore how the pursuit of freedom — especially through entrepreneurship — can sometimes be a disguised attempt to control our environments, soothe our hypervigilance, and avoid ever feeling powerless again. But true safety doesn’t come from control. It comes from sovereignty.
