Presentation: The Myth of 'Getting Over It': How Smart Leaders Navigate Their Nervous System

In this powerful presentation, Natasha challenges the popular notion that we should simply "get over" difficult emotions or stressful situations. Instead, she offers a revolutionary framework based on the polyvagal ladder that explains why we react the way we do and how we can build resilience before we need it. Through compelling stories and actionable tools, Natasha demonstrates how understanding your nervous system isn't just about feeling better—it's about becoming a more effective leader who can maintain optimism and clarity even when facing inevitable challenges. Join us to discover how the most successful business owners aren't those who avoid difficulty, but those who know how to live alongside it while still creating joy.
