Send us a text What do autoimmune disease, burnout, breast cancer, chronic pain, anxiety, and your BRAND have in common? More than any of us were ever taught. In this week’s episode, I share the revelation that blew the doors off my decade-long struggle to reconcile my love of personal development with my obsession for creativity, aesthetics, and branding. Spoiler alert: these worlds were never meant to be separate — and the thread that ties them together is something called the Type C Personality. According to research in neuroscience, psychosomatic medicine, and the work of Gabor Maté, the Type C personality describes women who spend their entire lives self-silencing, people-pleasing, avoiding conflict, and reading the room before they ever read themselves. And here’s where it gets wild: 80% of autoimmune diagnoses are womenType C emotional patterns show up again and again in chronic illness, including Hashimoto’s, breast cancer, fibromyalgia, migraines, and chronic fatigueThese same patterns shape how you show up, speak up, create, dress, and yes… how you brand your businessThis episode weaves together my personal story — including both of my sisters being diagnosed with breast cancer while testing negative for the BRCA gene — with the deep, uncomfortable truth that so many of us were conditioned to prioritize attachment over authenticity. What we learned to silence in childhood becomes what we struggle to express in adulthood, and your nervous system does not forget. I also break down how: Your nervous system influences your creativity and capacityBranding becomes a modality for healing, not just marketingArt, aesthetics, and self-expression regulate your body (hi, neuroaesthetics)Your website, your wardrobe, and your voice are reflections of your internal safety If you’ve ever felt muted, flat, palatable, “professional,” or disconnected online… If your website feels like a costume and not a mirror… This episode will make everything make sense. And it might just explain why so many brilliant women feel burned out, stuck, or invisible — and what actually creates the capacity to change it. 🔗 CALL-OUT LINKS Loudmouth Lab Waitlist The Myth of Normal — Gabor Maté ACE Score Test (Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire) Thanks for tuning into this episode of Loudmouth Lab (formerly Kelli Was Here).
