Episode Description

Many entrepreneurs find themselves in a constant state of hustle and acting from a sympathetic stress response. As working women, we think it’s normal, but the truth is that it’s actually killing us.


We are not designed to be stressed out of our minds, toxic, inflamed, malnourished, unrested and somehow thrive at the same time.  If we want to stay healthy, balanced, and thrive on this journey, we have to tend to our autonomic nervous system.


In this interview, Dr. Dawn Allen explains the difference between the parasympathetic and the sympathetic nervous system, what the signs are of living in sympathetic mode (fight or flight), the importance of tending to our parasympathetic nervous system (rest, digest, calmness & healing), and how we can apply these principles as ambitious women.
