About

Meet Malisa Nguyen, Founder of MTN Collective

I used to think the pressure was the price of being good at my job. As an SDR at Highspot and Torch, I built outbound motions, chased enterprise accounts, and hit my numbers.

From the outside, it looked like I had it handled. Inside, I was running on adrenaline and never really switching off.

Then it caught up with me. I was having anxiety attacks every single night. My muscles ached, I was irritable, and I couldn't stop thinking about work, even when I was with the people I love. I wasn't present, and it started costing me my relationships. That's when I realized survival mode wasn't a strategy. It was a debt, and my body and my relationships were the ones paying it.

What changed everything for me was learning to work with my nervous system instead of against it.

Meditation and flow state gave me a way to perform from calm instead of fear, and I watched the results get better, not worse.

Big ideas, real impact.

Want to learn more about working with me? Let’s chat!

I started MTN Collective because I kept seeing the same thing in the best reps and founders I knew: high achievers quietly burning out, convinced that slowing down meant falling behind. I want to show them there's another way to win.

Today I coach sales professionals and founders through FLOW, my method for moving out of survival mode and into flow state, so they can keep their edge and get their life back.

Background:

  • SDR at Highspot: account-based outbound for enterprise accounts

  • SDR at Torch: helped build the outbound motion from scratch

  • Founder of MTN Collective, Mental Performance Coach

Certifications and training:

  • Certified Holistic Health and Wellness Coach;

  • certified in Holistic Nutrition;

  • trained in Functional Life Coaching, hypnotherapy, and somatic work

I don't believe the answer to burnout is wanting less. My work starts with the nervous system, because you can't think your way out of fight-or-flight. From there we get to the root pattern underneath the overworking, then build new habits until calm is your default. It's holistic, it's practical, and it's built by someone who's been in the seat.

    "The team walked away feeling empowered and, more importantly, back in control.

It bridges the gap between raw talent and sustained high-level performance."
