The Nerve of Her
We’ve all received well-intentioned advice to speak up, lean in, be more assertive. Understanding how to work within your nervous system is the foundation for everything else at work, and almost nobody talks about it. Let’s get into it.
Your nervous system is taking all of this in, all day, whether you notice it or not. That’s why regulation comes first.
The Nerve of Her exists because most career advice for women starts a step later than it should. Speak up, lean in, be more assertive. All of it works better when your nervous system is working with you, and almost nobody talks about that part. So that’s where we start.
People share well-intentioned advice, and many of us eagerly seek it out as we build our careers. Those seeds of information help us learn and grow, but to truly flourish, we need something underneath them: an understanding of our own nervous systems. That’s the foundation, the soil, where everything else takes root.
So this is where we start: getting to know our nervous system and how to work with it in the big and small moments, whether we’re alone or in a room full of people. When we take the time to cultivate that understanding, everything else we’re working toward has room to grow.
This site is being built foundation first, so regulation is where it opens.

It’s grounded in the science of the nervous system, interactive, and built for women who want to grow and learn, but know there’s more to it than the one-liners they’ve been given.
