In this episode, we explore how fear, perceived laziness, and systemic oppression hold many people back from pursuing careers that align with their purpose.

By breaking down the nervous system’s role in decision-making through Polyvagal Theory, we uncover how survival mode, chronic stress, and societal conditioning impact career choices.

We also challenge the myth of laziness, revealing how burnout and systemic barriers often disguise themselves as a lack of motivation. Whether you're a person of color or from a culture that values job security over purpose, this conversation will provide insights and strategies to unlearn limiting beliefs and reclaim career freedom.
