266: Doing the Inner Work: Rewiring Your Nervous System To Lead Without Burning Out W/ Lauren Dike

As entrepreneurs, it’s easy to get caught in the cycle of hustle, stress, and pushing through exhaustion. But what if your constant state of “go” is costing you more than you realize? What if the very thing standing between you and sustainable leadership is your nervous system?

In this episode we’re joined by Lauren Dike, somatic practitioner, trauma-informed coach, and founder of Harmona Inclusive Wellbeing. Lauren has worked with organizations like NASA, Lululemon, and Black Girls Code, helping leaders and teams address burnout and embed nervous system science into the way they work. She shares how your nervous system shapes your leadership, why traditional self-care often isn’t enough, and practical ways to begin healing from stress so you can build a business that doesn’t cost you your peace.
