What If Safety, Not Worth, Is Blocking Your Next Level?

Join Mike Walker in this powerful episode of TWC Talks as he sits down with Keri Ford, award-winning leadership advisor and founder of Elevate with Keri, to unpack what most high-achievers overlook: the nervous system’s role in sustainable success.

Keri shares deep, actionable insights from her work with high-net-worth women and top-tier leaders, breaking down how unresolved trauma and nervous system dysregulation quietly sabotage growth at every level. Together, Mike and Keri explore the inner “glass ceilings” we don’t see, the survival patterns that high performers unknowingly normalize, and how to truly stabilize at new levels of wealth, visibility, and peace without self-sabotage.

Through candid conversation and real-life application, you’ll discover why traditional mindset work falls short and how rewiring the body’s relationship to success is the missing piece in most coaching and consulting models.

This episode is packed with practical takeaways for entrepreneurs, executives, and anyone ready to hold what they’ve worked so hard to build. No fluff, no jargon, just embodied leadership, nervous system science, and next-level performance strategy that actually sticks.

Feeling stuck at your current level? This is the reset your nervous system didn’t know it needed. Let’s dive in.
