High achievers often get caught in a pattern of hypercritical focus that prevents them from celebrating success. In this eye-opening episode, I reveal how our ability to spot improvements becomes our Achilles heel when we obsess over the 1% that isn't working instead of celebrating the 99% that is. I share my personal experience launching my AI-powered conversion copywriting system and the critical "silence" moment after launch where high achievers typically begin doubting themselves.

I explore why we struggle to receive praise and recognition, often deflecting compliments rather than embracing them, and how this directly impacts our confidence and joy in business. Drawing wisdom from the tech startup world, I demonstrate why perfectionism blocks progress and why sometimes you need to launch, get feedback, and improve iteratively instead of waiting for everything to be flawless.

This episode offers high-achieving entrepreneurs a refreshing perspective shift from hyper-focusing on what's broken to appreciating what's working brilliantly and shows how this shift transforms both your business approach and personal fulfillment.

Creating success is about alignment, not just strategy. In this revealing episode, I share authentic client success stories from my Spellbound coaching program, demonstrating how genuine messaging and personal alignment collapse business growth timelines. Starting with the observation that both tangible results (sales, ROI) and intangible transformations matter equally, and illustrate how different entrepreneurs thrive using completely different approaches when they honor their natural strengths.

I also emphasize the profound personal transformations clients experience, noting that when entrepreneurs become fully congruent in their messaging, offering, and approach, they naturally magnetize their ideal audience through truth, love, generosity, reciprocity, connection and collaboration.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• How successful businesses require both tangible results (sales, ROI) and intangible transformations (mindset, identity shifts).
• Why personalized marketing approaches work better than cookie-cutter strategies (live launches for some, boosted posts or blogging for others).
• How one client turned $1,200 in Facebook ads into 23 program enrollments by leveraging her natural teaching style.
• Why messaging alignment creates "sold before the call" experiences with high-ticket clients.
• The power of simple strategies when messaging is aligned (8 opt-ins daily from boosted Instagram posts).
• How friction disappears when your business approach aligns with your authentic self.
• Why personal transformation often precedes business breakthroughs ("so much happening below the surface").
• How to collapse business growth timelines through authentic alignment and embodied messaging.

From trauma to transformation, Dr. Natalie Green shatters the myth that healing happens only in our heads. Drawing from her harrowing personal survival story and 30+ years as a trauma expert, the bestselling author and Growing Tall Poppies podcast host reveals why so many high-achievers remain stuck despite years of talk therapy.

Dr. Green illuminates how trauma fractures our internal communication system, disconnecting our thinking brain from our feeling heart and intuitive gut. Through her pioneering ABS Method® and Trauma Release Exercises, she demonstrates how allowing the body to physically "shake out" stored trauma can accomplish what endless analysis cannot.

The episode unveils Dr. Green's fascinating seven Archetypes of Transformation©, from Phoenix Risers who rebuild from ashes to Liberated Voyagers breaking generational cycles, giving listeners a revolutionary framework for understanding their own healing journey. Particularly compelling is her insight into high-performers who intellectualize everything while their bodies silently scream through mysterious symptoms and chronic tension.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• How disconnection between our head, heart, and gut brains occurs during trauma and impacts decision-making.
• Why body scanning and allowing natural tremoring can release trauma stored in the nervous system.

• The seven trauma archetypes and how they manifest in different personality types.
• Why talk therapy alone often keeps trauma "stuck" rather than resolving it.
• How physical symptoms like rashes, tension, and breathing issues signal unprocessed emotions.
• The path from simply surviving trauma to experiencing post-traumatic growth.
