70-01 : The Badge of Honor That's Actually a Wound

This is episode one — but by rights, it should be episode seventy. I'm closing the German chapter of this business and opening a new one, in English, with the story that changed everything: a memory from before I had words at all. In this episode, I take you back to the moment my own nervous system began to shape itself — before birth — and unpack why the thing so many high-achieving women wear as a badge of honor ("I don't need anyone," "I've always been the strong one") is often not strength at all, but an early survival pattern still running the show decades later. You'll learn the difference between regulating and managing dysregulation — a distinction almost nobody in the self-help industry is talking about — and why you can do all the therapy, coaching, and inner work in the world and still feel like something's missing, if nobody ever showed you the difference. This is not a podcast about managing your dysregulation better. This is about going back to the architecture itself.
