FYI: You can watch this episode on YouTube HEREWhat if the reason you can't stop overworking has nothing to do with ambition and everything to do with survival? In this episode, I sit down with chartered psychologist and trauma expert Farya Barlas, founder of The Method, for one of the most intellectually rich and personally resonant conversations I've had on this show.Farya has spent over 20 years working with high-achieving women, and what she's identified is a pattern that most of us don't even recognize in ourselves: the way early survival strategies become the invisible architecture of our businesses — and why that architecture eventually becomes a ceiling.We get into:Why the most damaging trauma is the kind that gets rewarded — and why high achievers are especially vulnerableThe difference between trauma-led success and reparative success (this one will stop you in your tracks)Why your nervous system might be sabotaging your expansion — even when you want what you're building towardHow identity conditioning from childhood shows up as pricing, hiring, and visibility decisions in your businessThe visualization exercise Farya uses with every new client that reveals exactly where your internal capacity needs to growFarya is also the host of the From Trauma to CEO podcast, which I highly recommend — her framing is unlike anything else out there.🔗 Links mentioned:Farya's website + The MethodFrom Trauma to CEO podcastFollow Farya on InstagramWant to work with Renee?
