• S4 - E22: The Scarcity Code - Part 3

  Probably my best iteration yet of how I I found my way out of the dark. I chose to share this information as an article I wrote for my younger self. Recording it and sharing it through audio with an invitation for you to come listen in. This final episode in this 3 part micro series speaks to how those of us from high stress childhoods, ongoing stress careers, now aged 40sih, can find our way out of the dark. How the nervous system is so much more than a piece of anatomy, and why #nervoussystemintelligence is so fundamental our quality of life - to everything.  Resources mentioned in this episode include:  A Daily Practice to restore your nervous system to a minimum viable baseline.

• S4-E21: The Scarcity Code - Part 2

  In this episode, this audio explores how nervous system adaptations silently shape the way we price, earn, and show up in business. From freezing at bigger ticket opportunities to collapsing under visibility, this recorded audio for my younger self, unpacks how survival logic—not strategy—often drives our decisions. We trace the five-layer Scarcity Code loop and reveal what shifts when pricing, receiving, and success stop being trauma responses and start showing up from places we've made whole.  ______________________________________________________________________ Meet Shannon Eastman Founder, Researcher, Content Creator – Nervous System Economy Part Therapist.

• S4-E20: The Scarcity Code - Part 1

  In a Who Turned The Lights On first, I invite you to listen to a reading I recorded for my younger self, and perhaps for yours, too. This is Part 1 of a short series called The Scarcity Code, exploring how survival, money, and self-limitation are shaped by the nervous system from a time long, long ago.  If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns of under-earning, overgiving, or financial fear — even after years of strategy, effort, or mindset work — this may offer a different lens with which to explore the code that was added, that we can now choose to keep as is, or replace it with something new.  ______________________________________________________________________ Meet Shannon Eastman Founder, Researcher, Content Creator – Nervous System Economy Part Therapist.

  What if your performance wasn’t just about your mindset, but your mitochondria? What if quality of life came down to what’s in—and around—your nervous system?

From the fluorescent lights we ignore to the subtle electromagnetic fields that shape our biology, this conversation opens up a rarely-discussed dimension of performance, presence, and recovery.

• S4-E10: Consciousness as a tool to grow your business into the ultimate Exit, with Townsend Wardlaw

  Episode 10 will go down as one of my all time favourites. I appreciated the wisdom, insight and opportunity to learn from a business mind who prioritises consciousness as a tool to grow your business into the ultimate exit.  There was no effort required in making the invisibile, visible in ways that land, and shift, and compel a new way of seeing.  We covered a lot of ground and each had their own pause for relfection - from what is consciousness, focus, perception, their application in business, along with the idea that "how-to", frameworks and methodologies, are needed far less, when one has a good idea of who they are, and how best to access their entire human.   An inspiring, rich exchange with much learning and material to ponder long after.  _____________________________________________________________________ Meet Townsend Wardlaw  Townsend helped generate over $1.5 billion in revenue and more than $500 million in personal wealth for founders—and he says the key to it all isn’t strategy or hustle… it’s consciousness. He is a coach, advisor, and truth-teller to some of the world’s most ambitious founders and top-performing coaches. After losing everything in his first business—his health, his marriage, and his net worth—he rebuilt from the inside out. And what he discovered is now at the heart of his work: that the exit you're chasing starts with how you see, how you lead, and how you show up.
