Why does success sometimes feel unsafe, even when it’s everything you've been working for?

In this episode of The Regulated Rebel Podcast, I’m diving deep into the sneaky ways your nervous system might be blocking you from expanding into your next level, and why that’s not your fault!

I share how our brains and bodies are wired for survival, not visibility, and how the simple act of showing up online, launching a course, or raising your prices can feel unsafe when your nervous system hasn’t yet learned that it’s okay.

You’ll hear:
✨ Why your nervous system sees “unknown” as “dangerous”, and how that impacts your business.
✨ How procrastination and perfectionism are actually safety strategies.
✨ Why traditional business advice can trigger burnout, and how to build calm, sustainable success instead.
✨ Learn a super simple breathwork practice you can use anytime to signal to your body: You’re safe. You’ve got this.

This episode is your permission slip to stop forcing, start breathing, and build success from a place of safety and calm.

Because when your body feels safe to succeed, you become UNSTOPPABLE.

Welcome to the very first episode of The Regulated Rebel Podcast!

I’m Dani Fairhurst - breathwork and cold-water facilitator, nervous-system regulation mentor, and your sweary, no-BS guide to doing business without burning out.

In this opening episode, I’m sharing the raw and honest story behind how I went from a burned-out lawyer on the edge of collapse… to a calm, grounded, thriving business owner teaching others how to regulate, breathe, and build success that actually feels good.

You’ll hear:
✨ How years of anxiety, depression, and burnout led me to a psychiatric ward in London, and what happened next.
✨ The unexpected moment that changed everything (spoiler: it started with a 10-minute guided meditation on YouTube).
✨ How breathwork became the single most powerful tool in my healing journey.
✨ Why traditional “push-harder” business advice was wrecking my nervous system and how I built a business that supports me instead.
✨ What to expect from future episodes of The Regulated Rebel - from nervous-system tools to rebellious business strategies that ditch the cookie-cutter BS.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but still running on empty, this one’s for you.

You’ve done the mindset work. You’ve bought the courses. You’ve hustled harder, meditated more, and tried to manifest your way out of burnout.

But the truth is, if your body doesn’t feel safe, success will always feel like sabotage.

Welcome to The Regulated Rebel - the podcast for ambitious, big-hearted, burnt-out business owners who are ready to rise without wrecking themselves in the process.

Hosted by Dani Fairhurst, nervous system mentor, breathwork queen, and no-BS coach, this is your weekly dose of grounded strategy, healing tools, and honest conversations that help you stop performing your power and start embodying it.

Every Thursday, you’ll hear solo episodes and raw interviews with rebel leaders, spiritual healers, and creative entrepreneurs as we explore:

• Breathwork, somatics, and real nervous system healing (without needing a damn retreat)
• How to grow your business in a way that feels safe, spacious, and sustainable
• The deeper stories behind burnout, breakdowns, and rebuilding
• Tools to reclaim your creativity, income, and impact, from the inside out

If you’re done with burnout-as-a-badge and ready to build something powerful, regulated, and wildly YOU… you’re in the right place.
