Your nervous system
has a type.
This is what it means.

For the woman who is functioning brilliantly and privately running on empty.

You're not burned out because you're weak or doing it wrong. You're stuck because your nervous system has been running a stress response for so long it has become your baseline — and most advice was never built to reach that layer.

In this free live training, I'm going to show you exactly what your body has been doing, why it is costing you, and what your specific nervous system state actually needs to shift. Not generic wellness advice. The real thing.

Already taken the nervous system quiz? This training is the next layer — it explains the science behind your result and what it actually means for your life at work. Haven't taken it yet? Start here first →

This training is for you if

You recognise yourself
in at least one of these.

You don't have to be in crisis to be here. You just have to have a quiet sense that something isn't quite right.

You are good at your job and privately exhausted by it. You function. You deliver. You just cannot remember the last time any of it felt easy.

You have tried the sleep, the supplements, the meditation. Something shifts for a while. Then you find yourself back in the same place.

You know something is off. You just cannot name it — and you're beginning to wonder if this is simply what your life looks like now.

Part of you is starting to lose the thread of who you were before work took everything. You want her back. You're not sure where she went.

You are the person who holds everything together. And you are beginning to resent it — even though you can't seem to stop.

You are always tired and have no energy — and you've started to wonder if that is just who you are now.

Meet Aimee

I have lived
this pattern.

I spent over a decade in senior corporate leadership performing capability while quietly running on empty. Two toxic workplaces. A body sending signals I'd learned to override. A version of myself I barely recognised.

I was let go from my job. At the time it felt like the worst thing that had ever happened to me. It turned out to be the moment everything changed.

Root and Rise was built from that experience. Psychology-informed, nervous system-focused, and designed for women who are too capable to keep being told to just manage their time better.

In this training

What you will walk away with

Twenty minutes. Real content. No fluff, no pitch, no asking you to identify as broken.

If you know your nervous system state from the quiz, this training explains the science behind it and what it needs to shift. If you have not taken the quiz yet, take it here first — it takes two minutes and makes this training land faster.

Why nothing has worked long-term

Burnout is not a mindset problem. It's a biology problem. Once you understand that, everything else makes sense.

The four nervous system stress responses

Fight, Freeze, Fawn, and Flow — what each one is, what it costs you, and the specific thing each one needs to shift.

Why generic advice makes it worse

What works for fight makes freeze worse. Advice that wasn't built for your state doesn't just fail — it can deepen the pattern.

The Root and Rise method

The four-step approach to shifting a nervous system pattern — from naming the state to rebuilding the career and identity that actually fits.

Your daily reset question

One question for your specific state that starts to interrupt the pattern — before you've changed a single habit.

Your clearest next step

Three entry points into deeper work — wherever you are right now. You decide what pace feels right.

The Root and Rise method

What we will cover

The four-step framework I use with every client — from identifying your state all the way through to building the life and career that actually fits.

Name the state

Identify which stress response is running and why it made sense when it started. No shame attached — just clarity.

Remove what feeds it

Identify the specific habits, environments, and dynamics that are telling your system the threat is still real.

Add the right signals

Give your specific state what it actually needs — not generic wellness advice. Targeted, biology-informed inputs.

Rebuild from the inside

Once your nervous system has space, the bigger work — career, identity, direction — can actually land.

🔥

Fight

Wired, reactive, can't switch off

🧊

Freeze

Stuck, foggy, can't start

🌿

Fawn

People-pleasing, lost your voice

🌊

Flow

Regulated but worth protecting

@susanwellness

Seriously took me 3 full days to reset after we had a guest stay with us.

@sheerattitude

YES YES YES!!!! I feel this one in my bones. It's been such a journey and I'm finally digging out so many things.

@lorileeriemer

Yes please. That's exactly what I'm like! I'm always tired and have no energy.

@samphillips9110

PREACH — absolute fact. It is just never ending.

@sandydee22

I feel like me again! This tool has really helped me.

Your host

I'm Aimee Young. I've been the woman who had it all together on the outside.

I spent over a decade in senior corporate leadership, performing capability while quietly running on empty. Two toxic workplaces. A body sending signals I had learned to override.

What I discovered wasn't that I needed better habits. It was that my nervous system had been stuck in a stress response for so long it'd become my baseline — and no amount of mindset work was going to shift that without addressing the biology first.

Root and Rise is the result. Psychology-informed, nervous system-focused, and built for women who are too capable to keep being told to just manage their time better.
