Balancing Chaos, Community & Your Nervous System with Laurie Hawkins
In this episode of Small Business School, I sit down with Laurie Hawkins to talk about how we can navigate chaos—both in business and life—without losing ourselves in the process. We dive into nervous system health, simple practices that shift everything, and the power of community when things feel heavy. Laurie brings so much wisdom (and encouragement!) about finding calm in the middle of it all.
Key topics covered:
- Why your nervous system is your most important business partner
- How stress, fear, and “fight or flight” responses show up in our leadership
- Simple, everyday practices to stay grounded (yes, even dancing or screaming counts!)
- Why community is truly medicine, and how to give and receive support
- The reminder that you were born worthy and whole—and how investing in yourself ripples into everything around you
Tune in and remind yourself that even in the middle of chaos, you have the power to pause, choose differently, and create a ripple of calm and possibility in your life and business.
