You’re Not Lazy—You’re Dysregulated

If you feel like you're lazy, unmotivated, or broken—you're not. You're just in survival mode.
Your nervous system controls your response to stress.
Fight, flight, freeze, and fawn are not character flaws—they’re survival responses.
Chronic stress keeps your nervous system dysregulated.
That shows up as procrastination, shutdown, overthinking, emotional numbness, and exhaustion.
“Let’s try this together. It’s called 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding.”
5 things you can see
4 things you can touch
3 things you can hear
2 things you can smell
1 thing you’re grateful for
If this helped even a little, imagine what consistent support can do.
I coach women through survival mode into self-trust and emotional safety.
