Ep. 26 - The Nervous System Blueprint for High -Performing Women
This week, we go deeper into the conversation sparked by last week’s episode with Dr. Adeela. Jazmine breaks down what is really happening inside your body when you’re constantly in go mode and why so many ambitious women burn out even while doing everything they’re “supposed” to do.
If you’ve ever wondered why your symptoms repeat, why rest feels uncomfortable, or why slowing down feels harder than work itself, this episode gives you clarity and real solutions grounded in how your nervous system leads your entire health story.
In This Episode, We Talk About:
Why your nervous system shapes your digestion, mood, hormones and energy levels
The difference between sympathetic and parasympathetic states and why your body is actually protecting you
How high-performing women get stuck in survival patterns like hyper-independence and internal pressure
Why quick fixes only work temporarily and the real reason symptoms cycle
Tools Jazmine uses personally and with clients to regulate the nervous system
How data like HRV and cortisol testing can help you understand what your body is experiencing
Why rest is not optional for healing
Favorite Moments and Takeaways:
“Hustling starts to feel safer than healing.”
When your nervous system is overactivated, slowing down feels threatening even when your mind knows you need it.
Hyper-independence is not a personality trait.
It’s often a nervous system response rooted in not feeling safe receiving support.
You cannot out-supplement a dysregulated nervous system.
If you’re doing everything right and still not getting better, this is the missing layer.
Tools and Practices Mentioned:
EFT and tapping for subconscious rewiring
Intentional slowing down, even for a few minutes
Journaling practices including brain dumps, morning pages and gratitude lists
Prayer, meditation and frequency music
Nature time and grounding
Tracking HRV with Oura Ring to understand how your system responds to stress
