I built an empire on adrenaline and then…
My body sent an eviction notice.
Last year, I crushed three launches, rebuilt our product roadmap (twice), mediated a leadership conflict, rewrote the copy for our website, and presented to the board with one eye twitching and no lunch break. I also assisted 3 breathwork trainings, wrote a book, and created a new brand.
But sure, let’s call it “flow state.”
I felt unstoppable.
Powerful.
Like a golden gracious productivity goddess…
if she was also a human-shaped piñata filled with Post-Its, cold brew, and anxiety dreams.
And then, (of course), I crashed.
Not in the cute, “I need a spa day” way.
I mean flatlined.
Seriously considered quitting the world forever and becoming a moss-covered oracle in the forest.
And in the last few months of hiking, Yin Yoga and meditation… I sat with my creativity. And my relationship to it.
Creating from reactivity shapes not just what we make, but how we relate to it.
And whether it feels nourishing or depleting, authentic or performative, sustainable or spirit-splitting.
Here are some hard-hitting truths about what it looks and feels like when people create from unresolved reactivity like functional freeze, fight, flight, and fawn especially in business, coaching, art, or leadership:
Functional Freeze
You’re doing all the things, but you’re not in them.
You launch, post, reply, deliver… but feel numb, flat, or foggy.
Your success doesn’t feel real because your body is still bracing for collapse.
What it sounds like:
“I just feel disconnected from what I built.”
“I’m going through the motions.”
“I’m frozen until there’s a fire.”
The trap: Productivity becomes a bypass for presence.
The shift: Safety in the body creates capacity for creative intimacy.
Fight Reaction
You work like your worth depends on it, because somewhere, it still does.
You push harder, over-deliver, outwork everyone fueled by a nervous system at war with rest.
What it sounds like:
“If I don’t do it, it won’t happen.”
“I can’t slow down now.”
“Everything’s riding on this.”
The trap: Visibility is pursued from defensiveness, not desire.
The shift: Regulated creation is potent because it’s sourced from power, not panic.
Flight Reaction
You’re addicted to learning, tweaking, changing and never launching.
You get high off momentum, but panic at stillness.
You build a hundred things and never feel “ready” to share any of them.
What it sounds like:
“I just need to finish one more thing.”
“I’m rebranding again.”
“It’s not quite right yet…”
The trap: Perfectionism is a socially acceptable disguise for nervous system avoidance.
The shift: Embodied courage says: it’s safe to be seen before you feel complete.
Fawn Reaction
You build your offers to please, not to serve.
You price to be liked. You teach what’s palatable. You market for applause.
You betray your truth to avoid being abandoned by your audience.
What it sounds like:
“I don’t want to upset anyone.”
“People like this version of me better.”
“I’m afraid if I raise my price, no one will stay.”
The trap: You build a brand your body doesn’t feel safe inside.
The shift: Self-attunement is the foundation of aligned magnetism.
Your System Doesn’t Lie
You can script the perfect post.
Design the perfect funnel.
Offer the perfect package.
But if your nervous system is in survival, your audience feels the static.
You’re not “blocked.” You’re bracing.
You’re not “lazy.” You’re locked in a loop.
You’re not “bad at business.” You’re building from a trauma template.
The antidote?
Safety.
Attunement.
Somatic self-leadership.
Your resonance doesn’t deepen when you do more.
It deepens when you feel more.
And build from coherence, not coping.
