Stress has often been normalized as “just part of building a business.” Tight shoulders. Jaw tension. Bad sleep. Waking up tired even when you technically slept eight hours. In this episode, I’m talking with Alizah Josette, founder of Spherehead, about what happens when your body finally says, “No more.” Her story is about working multiple jobs, pushing through pain, living with migraines, and carrying stress in her neck and shoulders until her nervous system forced a reset she could not ignore.
We get into the real, unfiltered side of expansion blockers that live in the body, not just the mind. The kind that come from unprocessed stress, over-functioning, and treating rest like a reward instead of a requirement. Alizah shares how her own breakdown led her to invent the Spherehead Pillow and create a guided meditation practice that actually helps people release tension, sleep deeper, and feel supported in their bodies again.
If you’re building something meaningful and your body has been dropping hints that it needs more care, this conversation will land. We talk practical shifts you can make tonight, how embodiment changes your capacity to grow, and why your next level is not coming from pushing harder. It’s coming from listening better. Your body is the foundation of your business.
