In this interview, MJ Gordon discusses her perspective that neurodiversity is rooted in physiology rather than mindset, recounts a personal crisis when her husband announced a divorce, and describes how she responded by undergoing extensive health testing, including adrenal assessments. She reflects on a revelation sparked by Tony Robbins' talk about the balance of mindset and systems, realizing she had focused solely on mindset while neglecting systemic factors. Gordon highlights a common issue among high performers: chronic dysregulation of the nervous system, where they continuously push themselves without a proper recovery cycle. Stephen Scoggins interjects with praise, noting Gordon's world‑class achievements spanning Super Bowls to Adidas, and commends her as a strategist and remarkable human being.

Neurodiversity is physiology over mind.
She has done world-class stuff from Super Bowls to Adidas, you name it. World-class strategist, amazing human being.
When my husband said, I want a divorce, you know, one of those moments where I was just sitting there and I'm like, gosh, I don't even know what to do. This is like unsolvable in my mind. I started getting tested. I got my adrenals tested, everything tested. And what I found was just mind-blowing. And I was listening to Tony Robbins and he was saying something like, you know, 90% is mindset, but You know, like 20% is the systems, but if you don't got the mindset, it's not gonna work out for you. And I had this aha moment where I was like, all I've been thinking about is mindset. What are the systems? The thing that we find with most high performers or high achievers is that their nervous system is completely dysregulated. And it doesn't look like that because they've gotten to a place where they're pushing the nervous system to pump out all the support they need to keep performing, but there's no recovery cycle.
