Your client checks in and says it was a stressful week, so they couldn't stay on track. Now what?

Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas breaks down the neuroscience behind why stress and self-control are literally competing for the same mental resources, and what that means for how you coach through it. This isn't a stress management episode. It's a coaching skills episode.
 

She covers:

• Why stress and self-control are biologically at odds (not just emotionally)
• The "battery" analogy she uses with HMCC students to help clients audit their mental capacity
• The three most common coach responses to stress excuses and why two of them backfire
• How to reframe low-consistency weeks as a design problem, not a character flaw
• The language shifts that accidentally reinforce a fixed mindset about self-control
  
  

If you've ever validated a client's stressful week and immediately wondered if you just let them off the hook, this episode is for you.
