Lauren starts a new series on leading under pressure, looking at how chronic stress shifts the way leaders think, decide, and lead. She explains how dysregulation narrows perspective and pushes people into urgency, control, and short term thinking. 

This episode reframes those patterns through a nervous system lens and shows how small moments of regulation can bring leaders back to clarity and trust.
