Project Joyful

High performers don’t deny stress. They manage it well.They carry responsibility, stay prepared, and keep delivering results.But what if stress isn’t just something you handle, but something that’s quietly shaping how you lead.In this episode of Project Joyful, Tracy explores why so many capable, respected leaders unknowingly lead from stress, not because they’re overwhelmed or coping poorly, but because their biology learned that vigilance, preparedness, and control were what kept them safe.This is not a conversation about burnout or fixing yourself. It’s about understanding the unseen biological patterns that influence the experience of leadership in the body, and what changes when safety is created internally rather than managed through effort.In this episode, you’ll hear about:Why stress often feels like competence, focus, and responsibility for high performersHow leadership becomes carried in the nervous system, not just the calendarThe difference between strategic preparation and fear-based over-controlWhy rest doesn’t always restore, even when you take time offHow cortisol is increasingly understood as an anticipation hormone, not just a stress hormoneWhat the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis has to do with leadership staminaWhy slowing down can feel uncomfortable when vigilance has been your safety strategyWhat shifts when leadership no longer needs stress to access clarity, authority, and impactA different way to think about leadershipLeadership doesn’t lose its edge when your body no longer needs to stay on guard.It sharpens.When safety is created internally, attention becomes cleaner, decisions land faster, and rest starts to actually work. You still get access to that surge of clarity and energy when something matters, but you no longer need to live in stress to reach it.If you’ve ever sensed that leadership feels heavier than it should, even when things are going well on paper, this episode will likely put language to something you’ve felt for a long time.Continue the conversationIf this episode resonated, Tracy is hosting a free three-day live experience called Biology of Leadership, where she explores what leadership does to the body, and how the body quietly shapes leadership in return.You can learn more and save your seat at:👉 https://www.tracytutty.co.nz/LeadershipBiology

Leadership doesn't usually fail because of strategy, skill, or capability. More often, it feels heavy, draining, or costly for reasons that are harder to name, even when everything is working on paper. In this episode of Project Joyful, Tracy Tutty explores leadership through a biological lens. Not as a performance issue to fix, but as a nervous system pattern that has been learned over time. You'll hear why leadership can stay switched on long after the workday ends, why rest doesn't always restore, and how the mind and nervous system quietly collaborate to keep leaders alert, responsible, and reliable, sometimes at the expense of ease, creativity, and presence. This episode isn't about changing how you lead. It's about understanding what has been shaping the experience of leadership in your body, and why awareness alone doesn't automatically change how leadership feels. There's nothing you need to do as you listen. This is an invitation to recognise what resonates, and to hear language for experiences you may have sensed for a long time, but never quite had words for. In this episode, we explore: Why leadership can feel heavier than it should, even when you're good at it How leadership becomes a nervous system pattern, not a personality trait The dialogue between the mind and the nervous system around safety and responsibility Why rest is necessary, but doesn't automatically recalibrate the system Why this work isn't a mindset shift, strategy, or optimisation exercise What biological refinement actually means for sustainable leadership Mentioned in this episode: If you'd like to continue this conversation, Tracy is hosting a free three-day live experience called The Biology of Leadership, exploring the unseen biological factors shaping leadership energy, presence, and capacity over time.

In our final episode of 2025, we close the year with something most leaders rarely give themselves: a spacious, grounded moment to breathe. This conversation is a gentle exhale. A remembering. A subtle but powerful shift from pushing to presence. If you have ever found yourself checking work emails on a Saturday, feeling guilty for resting, or believing you will finally relax once every last task is done, this episode is for you. Together, we explore: The quiet tug of war between your mind's end of year urgency and your body's invitation to slow. The micro signals your unique nervous system uses to say, I need you.  What rest actually is, and why not working is not the same as restoration. How real rest sharpens your leadership, deepens your presence, and strengthens your emotional authority. The role of nervines in smoothing the frazzle and returning you to a steadier baseline. Why the intersection of herbal medicine and neuro identity coaching creates sustainable change. A guided moment of acknowledgement for everything you carried this year. This episode is an invitation into coherence, the state from which your most powerful decisions, insights, and leadership naturally arise. 🌿 Your 2025 Closing Ritual There is nothing you need to prepare.

As we close out this year, today's episode offers a gentler kind of leadership conversation. A spacious one.

In this episode, we explore the subtle signs that who you have been in leadership is no longer who you are becoming. This shift is not a failure. It is your biology, your subconscious, and your inner intelligence guiding you home. Inside this episode: • What it feels like when old strategies take more energy than they used to • The micro-moments Tracy's clients describe when their leadership begins to evolve • How your nervous system guides this transition before your mind catches up • Why your team adapts to your old identity and how they recalibrate as you do • What it truly looks like to return to yourself as a leader • How regulation is about rising to the moment and returning to rest • Why remembering who you are matters more than fixing what you are not This episode is a soft turning point. A moment of recognition. A breath. A remembering as we prepare for our final conversation of the year.

When calm feels out of reach, it's not a lack of willpower. It's biology. In this episode, Tracy Tutty explores why high-achieving women often equate movement with safety, and how to teach your nervous system that stillness can be safe too. Discover what happens when calm becomes your most valuable currency and how to invest in it without slowing down your success. Stillness sounds simple, but for many leaders it feels risky. In this episode, Tracy Tutty reveals the hidden economy beneath busyness; how dopamine, oxytocin, and inherited survival wiring keep us trading calm for control. You'll learn: • Why your body confuses stillness with danger, and how to change that • The subconscious exchange rate between calm, control, and credibility • How to work with your nervous system to restore coherence and clarity • Why calm isn't a luxury; it's capital that compounds • Simple physiological cues to rebuild trust with your body and your brilliance Whether you're leading a team, a business, or a family, this episode is your gentle reminder that calm was never out of reach.

So, how are you, really? In this episode of Project Joyful, Tracy Tutty explores what happens when your brilliance outpaces your biology. We look at the subtle ways high-performing women say "I'm fine" while their nervous system is quietly braced for impact, and why rest can feel more like risk than relief. You'll hear how control masquerades as calm, how adrenaline disguises itself as productivity, and how to begin showing your body that ease isn't earned, it's remembered. Tracy shares the hidden cost of performing composure, the science behind "I'm surviving" disguised as "I'm fine", and practical ways to restore coherence between your mind, body, and leadership. If you've ever wondered why slowing down feels unsafe, or why peace only appears once everything is done, this conversation will change how you understand power, rest, and presence. In this episode you'll discover: • Why your body can look calm while still running on stress chemistry. • The biological link between control and safety. • How over-performance narrows creativity, empathy, and vision. • Practical micro-shifts to retrain your nervous system for sustainable ease. • What leadership looks like when calm becomes your new baseline.

You don't need a sabbatical - you need a nervous system that trusts your success. If you've ever felt the quiet edge beneath achievement - the sleepless nights, the inbox brace, the holiday cold that hits the moment you finally stop - this episode is your invitation to recalibrate. Tracy Tutty unpacks what's really behind high-functioning fatigue and why control feels safe… but isn't the same as being regulated. You'll discover how biology and identity intertwine, why retreats don't create lasting change, and what happens when your nervous system begins to believe that ease is safe. This conversation isn't about burnout recovery. It's about evolution - from self-regulation to collective regulation. Tracy reveals how coherence in your body becomes safety in your team, and how leading from regulation transforms performance into presence. By the end, you'll understand: • Why you get sick at the start of your holiday - and what your body's really doing. • How your nervous system learns to equate control with survival. • What "coherence" looks and feels like in real-world leadership. • How servant leadership begins in the body - not the boardroom. • And why your next level of success doesn't require you to push harder - only to breathe deeper. You get to experience leadership that feels like coherence: sharp, grounded, unshakeably alive. 💎 Work with Tracy Revitalise - Tracy's private 1:1 Neuro-Identity programme - is now open for enrolment.

In this episode of Project Joyful, Tracy Tutty explores herbal approaches to stimulating GLP-1 - a key metabolic hormone widely known through medications like Ozempic. But there's more to this story than injectables.

Tracy also shares how Neuro-Identity Coaching helps high-performing women leaders shift from override to resonance.

In this episode, Tracy continues the series on The Hidden Costs of High Performance with a powerful and deeply personal exploration of what it means to be "The Reliable One." High-performing women are often the first to show up, the last to flinch, and the ones everyone depends on. But what's the hidden cost of holding it all together? Tracy unpacks how this identity forms, why it persists, and how it can quietly erode your presence, intuition, and connection - both with your team and yourself. What You'll Learn:  Why being dependable became your identity - and what it might be costing you now The subtle signs of emotional disconnection and self-suppression  How reliability can morph into a quiet, unconscious script  Why the strongest leaders do flinch - and what they do with it  How your presence can reset your team's culture and unlock deeper trust This episode is for you if:  You pride yourself on being calm, capable, and composed - but feel quietly disconnected You've noticed a flattening of joy, creativity, or clarity in your leadership  You want to feel as good on the inside as you look on the outside If you're ready to lead from presence - not just performance - this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

High-performing women often hold the emotional weight of their teams and organisations - quietly, constantly, and at great personal cost. In this episode, Tracy Tutty dives deep into the hidden world of emotional labour at work. You'll discover how hyper-empathy, people-pleasing, and unconscious caregiving patterns may be shaping your leadership more than you think. Tracy reveals how this often-invisible emotional load can dull your edge, drain your presence, and distort your boundaries - not just with others, but with yourself. We'll explore:  Why emotional attunement makes you a powerful leader (until it doesn't)  The real cost of "If they're okay, I'm safe"  How mothering instincts leak into professional spaces and limit team growth  Why boundaries are a nervous system recalibration, not a mindset hack  What leadership looks like when emotional labour becomes a choice, not a compulsion This isn't about fixing you. It's about freeing you. So you can lead with clarity, connection, and a presence that feels fully yours.
