Are You in Fight or Flight Mode in Your Business?

Let’s have a heart-to-heart, woman to woman. Because I know that if you’re building something big—if you’re here to lead, to serve, to rise—there’s a very real, very human part of you that gets overlooked in all the hustle and strategy talk: your psychological response system. Specifically, your fight or flight mode.

This isn’t just science. This is real life, real business and real emotions. And it’s affecting how you show up, make decisions, and move forward. Read on to learn more about your fight or flight mode.

What Does Fight or Flight Look Like in Business?

It’s not just running from danger anymore. You’re not dodging wild animals. You’re navigating clients saying “not right now,” launches that fall flat, posts that get crickets. And even though you’ve built the offer, structured the funnel, done the visibility work—something still feels stuck.

Here’s how it shows up:

• Feeling like you want to give up when something doesn’t go to plan

• Doubting your capabilities, your worth, or your readiness

• Slipping into self-blame: “Maybe I’m not cut out for this”

• Pushing harder, hustling more, trying to prove yourself

• Holding back, staying small, hiding when visibility is needed most

How to Respond

The fight or flight response is automatic. But you get to choose how you respond.

Ask yourself:

• What are 3–5 weekly challenges that regularly shake your confidence?

• When those things happen, what is your knee-jerk response? Do you fight (get resourceful, ask for support, innovate)? Or do you fly (retreat, second-guess, spiral)?

Now take it deeper:

• What could you do differently in those moments?

• How could you train your brain to respond from abundance rather than lack?

Your Business Reflects Your Belief

If you're building from fear, your marketing will feel protective. Watered down. Lacking conviction.But if you're building from grounded belief and personal power, your message becomes magnetic. That’s where the shift happens.

Let me be super clear: Your success is inevitable when you believe it to be so.
