About this Talk
We often celebrate the entrepreneur’s drive, resilience, and creativity—but how often do we stop to ask: what happens when the nervous system can’t keep up?
Lynn Erasmus, award-winning journalist, TEDx speaker, founder of Pathfinder CIC, and creator of the REBEL framework, knows this story well. Having lived through trauma and burnout herself, she has transformed those experiences into a pioneering, trauma-informed approach to wellbeing. Her work integrates neuroscience, somatic practices, and accessible community healing to empower people to regulate their nervous systems, unlock resilience, and sustain their innovation journey.
In this session, Lynn will share why the foundation of building a thriving business—and indeed a thriving nation—starts with a healthy nervous system. Without it, even the brightest innovators risk overwhelm, self-sabotage, and burnout. With it, entrepreneurs can access clarity, creativity, and the capacity to lead sustainably.
Prepare to be inspired, challenged, and equipped with practical insights that will change not only how you work, but how you thrive.
