When Lise first reached out to me, she was what you might call "at the end of her rope."

She'd been bootstrapping her dating app startup for two years, burning through personal savings and eventually moving to credit cards just to keep the lights on. "I was on my knees," she told me later. "I literally didn't know which way was up anymore."

She'd found my website offering a free 15-minute "find your block" session, and despite being the type of person who never did "this kind of stuff," something made her book it anyway.

When I told her during that call that I worked with energy and talked to angels, her logical brain screamed that this was insane. But something deeper - call it intuition, call it desperation - made her invest $1,000 she absolutely didn't have.

"I literally told you it was probably the dumbest decision I'd ever made," she laughed during our recent session. "But I also knew that not investing could be more expensive in the long run."

This internal conflict between logic and intuition would become the central theme of her entire transformation.

What Lise didn't realize is that her struggles weren't due to lack of effort, wrong strategy, or bad timing. Her body's biological systems were literally working against her success at every turn.

When we're operating from what neuroscientist Stephen Porges calls the sympathetic nervous system - essentially fight-or-flight mode - we lose access to our creative problem-solving abilities and become hyperfocused on perceived threats.

Lise's nervous system, trapped in survival mode after years of financial stress, was keeping her in a state of tunnel vision that made her miss opportunities and operate from fear rather than clarity.

Meanwhile, her brain was working exactly as designed - but not in her favor. Neuroscience shows us that our brains receive 11 million bits of information per second but can only process 64 bits.

The filtering system that determines which 64 bits get through? Our existing beliefs and unconscious programming. Lise's limiting beliefs about money, success, and her own capabilities were literally filtering her reality to show her only information that confirmed her fears and inadequacies.

On top of that, her homeostatic response - the body's alarm system designed to keep us in our comfort zone - was actively sabotaging any movement toward greater success.

Every time she got close to a breakthrough, her cellular programming would flood her system with stress chemicals, creating the very self-sabotage that kept her stuck.

Beliefs formed before age 12 were running 97% of her automatic programming. Beliefs like "I'm not capable enough" and "success requires suffering" were operating below her conscious awareness, proving themselves right over and over again through the very experiences they created.

Rather than trying to push through this biological resistance - which is what most success coaching teaches - we took a radically different approach. We worked with her body's systems instead of against them.

Through nervous system regulation techniques, we taught her body what safety actually felt like. For the first time in years, she could access what Porges calls the "ventral vagal" state - a place of calm, clarity, and connection where creative problem-solving and intuitive guidance become available.

We used a process called Emotional Loop Dissolution to literally dissolve the neural pathways running those old limiting beliefs.

Instead of trying to think her way out of patterns that existed below conscious awareness, we addressed them at the cellular level where they were actually stored.

Most importantly, we gradually expanded her homeostatic set point - the level of success her body considered "safe." Instead of triggering alarm bells, increased income and opportunities began to feel natural and sustainable.

But the real test came with venture capital funding.

The statistics are stark: only 0.5% of all startups receive VC funding. Of that tiny percentage, women receive just 1%. Do the math, and you discover that only 0.001% of female founders ever secure venture capital - literally one in 100,000.

The traditional "force-based" approach to VC funding involves endless networking, perfecting pitch decks, and systematically working through lists of potential investors. It's grind-it-out, make-it-happen energy.

Lise's breakthrough came differently.

At a random industry event, she felt an inexplicable pull to approach a stranger standing in the corner. She had no logical reason to talk to him - she didn't even know who he was.
"I had the weirdest feeling that I should just be like, 'Do I know you from somewhere?'" she told me. "I don't ever do that."

That stranger turned out to be exactly the right investor at exactly the right time. Not only did she secure $75,000 in immediate funding, but she was accepted into a prestigious accelerator program with access to over $1 million in additional capital.

The next major test of this new way of operating came when Lise decided to sell her house to fund her move to Silicon Valley for the accelerator program.

The first real estate agent she consulted - let's call this the "force-based" approach - came armed with comps and data.

His recommendation? List the house for $314,000, exactly what she'd paid for it. He had spreadsheets, market analysis, and years of experience to back up his position.

But something felt off to Lise. Despite all his "proof," her newly calibrated intuitive guidance was sending a clear signal: this information wasn't accurate.

In the old days, she would have overridden this feeling and deferred to the "expert." After all, he had data.

But now, operating from nervous system safety rather than fear, she trusted her inner knowing enough to seek a second opinion.

The second realtor - operating more from flow than force - suggested listing at $378,000. The house sold for $435,000.

Trusting her intuition over the first agent's "expert analysis" netted Lise an extra $120,000. In that single decision, she'd made back her entire investment in our work 120 times over.

This wasn't coincidence. When you're operating from authentic alignment rather than desperate seeking, you become a magnet for what you're actually trying to create.

As I'm writing this, Lise is preparing to move to Silicon Valley, her house has closed, and she's officially dating someone who shares her values and vision. But the transformation goes deeper than external success.

She's making decisions from clarity rather than fear. She's building a company that reflects her values rather than compromising them for growth.

Most importantly, she's become living proof that the most "impossible" statistics become irrelevant when you're operating at the right frequency.

Lise's story isn't unique because she's special - it's unique because she was willing to trust a approach that seemed to contradict everything the business world teaches about success.

The science is clear: when your nervous system is regulated, your limiting beliefs are cleared, and your homeostatic set point is expanded, you gain access to information and opportunities that force-based thinking literally cannot perceive.

The most practical thing you can do is learn to trust your intuition.

The most "woo-woo" sounding approach generated over $200,000 in measurable value compared to force-based alternatives - and that's just from the decisions we can easily quantify.

When your biology, neuroscience, and energetics are aligned, you don't just achieve goals - you become a magnet for opportunities that your old way of thinking couldn't even imagine.

The question isn't whether this approach works. The evidence is overwhelming. The question is whether you're ready to trust what the science is telling us about how human potential actually functions.
