Leading from Within

39. The dark side of being 'good under pressure'


Listen Later

Do you pride yourself on being ‘good under pressure’?


What if I told you that what feels like a strength might actually be a repetitive stress response in disguise?


In this eye-opening episode, I'm diving deep into why so many of us have built our identities around thriving in high-pressure situations – and what's really happening in our bodies when we do.


In this episode I'm sharing:

  • The biochemical reason why we become ‘addicted’ to pressure (and the hormonal cocktail that keeps us coming back for more)
  • Why your ability to handle anything thrown at you might have deeper roots than you realise
  • The subtle ways this pattern shows up in daily life
  • The hidden cost of constantly operating in the ‘red zone’
  • Why the goal is not to be calm all the time (& what is instead)
