About Embodied Entrepreneur: Anxiety-Free & Profitable Business By Healing Trauma With The Nervous System

We explore a real app or AI product and asks the questions that matter: does this actually work with how your nervous system functions? Will it help you reach your goals or just keep you engaged? Who was it built for, and what does it ask of you to use it well?

Hosted by Sheridan Ruth, a somatic coach, trauma therapist, yoga therapist, and bestselling author with over a decade of experience working with how the nervous system drives behaviour, decision making, and wellbeing.

   251: The wellness industry is making you more burnt out

   The wellness industry and self-help culture have created a cycle where people “heal and regulate” endlessly, making them fragile and stuck in internal excavation of wounds, attachment, nervous systems, and beliefs while deprioritizing outward building, contributing, and showing up in the world. This self-examination loop can worsen wellbeing because humans are wired for belonging, being needed, competence, making things, and community—needs that can’t be met by thinking alone but by going outward. Regulation is as access to choice: choosing how to show up and contribute even when not feeling great. 00:00 Wellness Trap Intro 00:14 Regulation As Choice 01:05 Self Help Loop Problem 02:03 Integrate And Go Outward 02:30 What Humans Need 03:01 Cycle Of Isolation 04:01 Redefining Regulation 04:26 Sustainable Effort Not Grind 05:00 Coaching Invite Wrap Up Receive Support: The 5-week Energy Management Program: (https://sheridanruth.com/high-functioning-burnout-5-week-program/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=evergreen)Work Doesn’t Have to Cost All Your Energy (https://sheridanruth.com/high-functioning-burnout-5-week-program/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=evergreen) One-on-one somatic support for nervous-system-level patterns (https://sheridanruth.com/somatic-coaching-nervous-system-regulation/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=evergreen) Free Resources and Reports: What if you're not the problem?

   250: If your exhausted everyday, stop looking for consistency (burnout & rhythms)

   Burnout is often a timing problem rather than a workload problem, because cognitive capacity fluctuates across the day, week, month, and (especially for women) across hormonal cycles. Sustainable productivity comes from learning your predictable high- and low-capacity windows (chronotypes) and matching task type to those rhythms: schedule heavy strategy and complex thinking when capacity is high, and do lighter administrative or relational work when energy drops, instead of forcing consistency. Sheridan shares her own pattern of concentrating on demanding work early in the week to prevent burnout and make time off easier, and invites listeners to notice what feels doable and collaborate with others to create an ideal schedule. Examples include “Jack,” who protects 4–6 PM for deep work, and “Sally,” a rotating-shift nurse who uses micro-regulation and somatic practices between tasks to reduce cognitive depletion. 00:00 Burnout Is Timing 01:54 Find Your Rhythms 03:48 My Weekly Pattern 04:30 Design Your Schedule 05:52 Jack Deep Work Block 07:39 Sally Shift Work Strategy 08:48 Energy Map And Shoulds 09:24 Wrap Up And Challenge Receive Support: The 5-week Energy Management Program: (https://sheridanruth.com/high-functioning-burnout-5-week-program/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=evergreen)Work Doesn’t Have to Cost All Your Energy (https://sheridanruth.com/high-functioning-burnout-5-week-program/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=evergreen) One-on-one somatic support for nervous-system-level patterns (https://sheridanruth.com/somatic-coaching-nervous-system-regulation/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=evergreen) Free Resources and Reports: What if you're not the problem?

252: Why can't my body handle what everyone else's can (Adenomyosis, trauma healing)

Published 1 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] So this has created a bit of a shift in understanding, and I remind myself of this. For me, it means my adenomyosis, my autoimmune concerns is not caused by me failing to become more regulated. It's not like my anxiety is somehow punishing my body. It's just that I have more emotional sensitivity and my physical condition, the emotional sensitivity that I have and my physical condition, they share a biological root. My body processes stimuli more sensitively. It's just my baseline, which means my baseline and the way that I need to structure my life is going to be different to other people's. I think for a long time I fought against this sensitivity and I even have a part of me that as I say this wants to be like, oh, like there's a silver lining to this. […]
