Harnessing Our Nervous System to Manage Everything We Say We Want | Spring Break Best Of | Emily Paulsen & Olivia Marie

from Curious Life of a Childfree Woman · host Emily Paulsen

Spring is the season of leveling up, and this one is back as part of the Spring Break Best Of series because Emily re-listens to it every single time she needs a tactical boost on how to hold the abundance she is always working toward. Dr. Olivia Marie is a doctor of psychology with deep expertise in nervous system regulation, business energetics, and wealth expansion, and Emily has never heard anyone explain this stuff so clearly.This conversation will change the way you think about every goal you have ever set and not hit. Emily and Olivia get into why affirmations and morning routines are not enough if you never get to the root, what it actually looks like to rewire your nervous system rather than manage it forever, and how living in a regulated state is not about being calm and quiet but about becoming someone who can hold the results they actually want. If you have ever wondered why you keep self-sabotaging right when things start to get good, this one is for you.Key TakeawaysBurnout is feedback, not failure—and it often points to patterns of chronic override.The “Starbucks Cup” analogy helps visualize how full most nervous systems already are before life adds more stress.Nervous system regulation creates capacity for presence, discernment, and deeper self-leadership.Boundaries aren’t walls—they’re invitations for more aligned connection and energy flow.“Normal” is a moving target, shaped by conditioning—not truth.Tiny moments of self-abandonment add up, and recognizing them is the first step toward reclaiming power.You can hold duality—empowerment and fear, clarity and confusion, expansion and stillness can coexist.—Host Emily Paulsen is an accomplished entrepreneur and happily childfree woman shining a light on the often overshadowed childfree-by-choice perspective. Whether interviewing innovative experts or positioning leaders to scale through her Brand Studio, Electric Collab, Emily’s power lies in allowing people to feel seen and celebrated for who they are . She’s spent years honing the ability to deeply understand and amplify others in an honest, high-impact way. Learn more about Emily on her website: www.curiouslifeofachildfreewoman.com  And connect with her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/curiouslifeofachildfreewoman/ —The guest on this episode is Olivia Marie, a doctor with a degree in psychology and a deep expertise in nervous system regulation, business energetics, and wealth expansion.
