Send us a text

In this episode, I share some helpful strategies for entrepreneurs to stay grounded when things get uncertain. You'll learn about expanding your "window of tolerance" between fight-or-flight and freeze responses, and discover practical tools like creating your own personalized "thrive list" and choosing meaningful "reset buttons" instead of just defaulting to whatever's easiest. We explore seven different types of rest—physical, mental, emotional, sensory, creative, social, and spiritual—and talk about how taking care of yourself intentionally actually builds your capacity to lead effectively. Throughout our conversation, you'll find actionable advice for managing your energy and reducing decision fatigue, helping you stay centered as a leader rather than operating from a place of panic.
