Ever feel that split second where your patience thins and the “old you” steps forward with words you can’t take back? This bonus drop is a straight, practical talk about facing workplace pressure with a calmer spirit, and why a quick pre-commute ritual—Regina calls it prayer—can be the difference between a small slight and a career-size problem. We get real about triggers, tone, and the way one heated moment can flip you from being right on the facts to wrong on conduct.

We walk through the stress cocktail many teams live in: heavy workloads, tired managers, rushed messages, and clumsy phrasing that lands like disrespect. You can’t control other people’s tone, but you can arrive prepared. If the morning got away from you, take thirty seconds in the car or on the sidewalk to reset. Breathe, say a simple prayer, and set an intention to respond instead of react. That pocket of calm helps you hold boundaries, choose better words, and avoid the blowups that end up in HR or follow you to your next job.

You’ll hear personal lessons, not platitudes: how a mindful check-in keeps the peace when someone “picks the wrong battle,” why empathy matters when you don’t know what a coworker is carrying, and how composure protects your reputation as much as your sanity. We’re also teeing up a fuller series on conduct in public and at work, because small habits shape big outcomes. If you’ve ever wished for fewer fires and more grace at the office, start with this simple practice and notice how the day shifts.

If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who’s under pressure, and leave a quick review to tell us what ritual keeps you steady. Your stories shape what we explore next.
