Have you ever found yourself questioning everything you know while in the pursuit of success? Today's guest has been an instrumental part of my healing journey, a practitioner, complex systems thinker, and founder of Breakthrough Performance and Rehab, Wesley Kress! Wesley works with high performers and entrepreneurs navigating chronic pain, nervous system dysregulation, and major life transitions. No matter what part of the journey you find yourself in, our conversation will give you the keys to expand your nervous system to hold the next level of success you're meant to call in. We dive into the unseen struggles of the healing journey, why we resist healing and rest as driven individuals, and why the internal experience is the deciding factor for lived-in success. If you're ready to open the door to profound transformation and your own version of success, this episode is your first step towards it!
