After some questions from last week's episode, Alex decided to come back and dive deeper into catching a reset and what it means. From parenting guilt and perfectionism to inbox overwhelm and mid-life regret, this episode explores how to catch a reset even when life feels out of control. If you’re carrying too much or wondering if it’s too late to change, this is your reminder: it’s never too late to catch a reset...and start again with intention.

In a world that glorifies grinding, Alex challenges the myth of "catching up" and shares a liberating alternative: catch a reset. Drawing from neuroscience, leadership, and real life, this episode explores how stress + ownership can lead to resilience, and why your mindset about your workload may matter more than the workload itself. If you're overwhelmed by unfinished tasks, this episode is your permission to start fresh with purpose.

This episode is a powerful call to tune yourself right...so others can flourish with you.
