Nervous System Of Success

COLIN BOYD
About this episode

If strategy was the whole answer, we’d all be millionaires by now. But if you’ve ever had a “successful” launch and still felt anxious…

 ...or watched your Stripe account grow while your confidence still lacked…

There’s something deeper going on.

In this episode of the Expert Edge, I’m pulling back the curtain on a conversation we all need to have—but most people avoid: your nervous system.

Because here’s the truth:
You don’t just build a business with strategy—you build it with your state. And if your nervous system is stuck in stress, fear, or fight-or-flight mode... it doesn’t matter how good your funnels are. You’ll keep self-sabotaging your growth.

In this solo episode, I’m breaking down how I’ve personally rewired my own nervous system for success—and how I coach my students through the same process.

You’ll learn:

  • Why high performance often hides chronic stress

  • How to identify nervous system dysregulation in your business

  • The #1 somatic shift I made to finally feel safe hitting 6 and 7-figure months

  • And how to lead from calm, power, and presence—no matter what’s happening externally

This episode is vulnerable, practical, and probably the missing piece you didn’t know you needed. If you’ve been stuck at a plateau—or pushing so hard you’re burning out—this one’s for you.
