1. How often do you find yourself unable to be fully present in important moments missing what your clients/team/loved ones are saying because your mind is racing ahead or replaying the past?
*
Rarely - I'm fully present and engaged in important conversations
Occasionally - I catch myself drifting but can redirect my attention
Frequently - I'm often planning the next thing while people are talking
Constantly - I'm never fully here; I'm always mentally somewhere else
2. How much is anxiety, overwhelm, or fear of "dropping balls" impacting your ability to make clear, confident business decisions?
*
Not at all - I make decisions confidently and trust my judgment
Minimally - I occasionally second-guess myself but move forward
Significantly - I delay decisions, overthink options, or need constant validation
Severely - I'm paralyzed by decision-making or make reactive choices I later regret
3. From the outside, your life looks successful. On the inside, how does it actually feel most days?
*
Aligned and fulfilling - my external success matches my internal experience
Mostly good with occasional disconnection between how it looks and feels
Disconnected - I've built something impressive that feels hollow or exhausting
Completely misaligned - I'm living someone else's definition of success and suffering for it
4. How often does physical tension, exhaustion, or stress-related symptoms (headaches, digestive issues, sleep problems) force you to cancel plans, underperform, or operate at less than your capacity?
*
Rarely - my body supports my ambitions consistently
Occasionally - a few times per month during peak stress
Regularly - several times per week I'm compromised physically
Constantly - my body is a daily barrier to what I'm trying to accomplish
5. How much revenue, opportunity, or growth are you leaving on the table because you don't have the nervous system capacity to say yes to bigger opportunities, higher visibility, or expansion?
*
None - I pursue opportunities aligned with my vision confidently
Some - I occasionally decline due to capacity concerns but mostly show up
Significant - I regularly turn down opportunities because I'm already maxed out
Major - I'm actively avoiding growth because I can't handle more pressure
6. In your most important relationships (partner, children, close friends, team), how often do you show up irritable, reactive, emotionally unavailable, or with nothing left to give, even though you don't want to be that way?
*
Rarely - I'm generally emotionally available and regulated with loved ones
Occasionally - I have off days but can repair and reconnect
Frequently - I'm often short-tempered, shut down, or just going through the motions
Constantly - my dysregulation is damaging my most important relationships
7. How often do you sacrifice your own boundaries, rest, or wellbeing because you feel like you "should" be able to handle more, prove your worth, or avoid disappointing others?
*
Rarely - I maintain boundaries and honor my needs without guilt
Occasionally - I overextend sometimes but mostly protect my capacity
Frequently - I regularly override my needs to meet others' expectations
Constantly - I have no boundaries; I say yes to everything and suffer for it
8. If you're being brutally honest: How much of your mental and emotional energy is consumed by worry, rumination, perfectionism, or just trying to hold it all together, instead of actually creating, enjoying, or expanding what you've built?
*
Minimal - most of my energy is available for creation and enjoyment
Some - I'd have 10-20% more capacity if I wasn't managing stress
Significant - I'd have 30-50% more capacity; stress management takes major bandwidth
Most of it - I'd have 50%+ more capacity if I wasn't in constant survival mode
