Who’s Really Running Your Business? Meet the Invisible Saboteur Costing You Peace, Power & Profit

Have you ever found yourself spiraling over something that didn’t even happen, but your nervous system swears it did?

In this raw and revealing episode, Deborah Hartnett exposes the silent saboteur that might be secretly running your business: your distorted lens. Those old, subconscious stories shaped by fear, comparison, or childhood conditioning.

Through neuroscience, personal reflection, and a practical 3-step model, Deb walks you through how to break free from reactive leadership and step into powerful, soul-aligned decision-making.

If you’re craving clarity, grounded confidence, and peace in how you lead, this episode will help you spot the invisible narrative shaping your results, and give you the tools to rewrite it.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• What a distorted lens is, and how it silently shapes your business decisions
• How your nervous system reacts to thoughts like they’re real events
• The neuroscience behind self-sabotage and survival-mode leadership
• Why mindset isn’t just “emotional fluff”, it’s performance critical
• A 3-part Inspired Alignment Framework to shift from distortion to clarity

“You are not your distorted lens. You are not your past. You are the author now, leading from truth, not fear.”
