If it adds noise instead of clarity, it’s a no.

I was reminded of this very personally a couple of days ago. I had a stressful call with my sister - and even though the call itself ended, my body didn’t move on as quickly. I was so dysregulated afterward that I ended up essentially bed-ridden for a couple of days. Not lazy. Not unmotivated. Just… offline.. And that’s the thing we often miss, especially as entrepreneurs. When our nervous system takes a hit, productivity doesn’t just dip a little. Sometimes it stops entirely. In relationships, dysregulation can show up as triggers, shutdown, or emotional overwhelm. In business, it can look like procrastination, brain fog, avoidance, or not being able to access the part of us that knows what to do. No amount of pushing helps in those moments. What actually helps is tending to the nervous system first, letting the body settle so execution can come back online. This is why I keep saying: 💚 regulation isn’t separate from productivity 💚 emotional safety isn’t separate from follow-through 💚 and “doing nothing” for a bit can sometimes be the most strategic move So if you’re struggling to execute right now, it might not be a discipline problem. It might just be your nervous system asking for care. Curious - have you noticed moments where an emotional hit affected your ability to show up or work afterward? 💚

Today I just got off a call that was a great 1:1 for about 45 minutes and then just started fogging up. Not really remembering what I need to do next. I mean I had it written down so I knew what I needed to do, but I couldn't get started. So I'm now taking a break, having lunch, and going to relax until the fog clears. Anyone else have this? This doesn't happen to me often.

Anyone else feel like some days they need someone to just follow them around body doubling all day to get things done? No? Just me? 🤔

My sincerest apologizes my friends. I had it in my mind that book club was next Sunday and will not be in a position to show up for it tonight. This just dawned on me as I’m driving home. I prioritized fun this weekend and didn’t check myself. I own that I messed up today and understand any loss of faith AND this is my promise to do better in the future. We will pick it back up next Sunday the 11th and move forward with the same every other week structure. I love you guys! 🙏
