What happens when the pressure doesn’t come one at a time, but all at once?

In this episode, Dr. Amy Athey sits down with sales leader Laura Nardella to explore what it really takes to keep showing up when personal and professional demands collide. From navigating high-stakes leadership roles to facing an unexpected breast cancer diagnosis, Laura shares how she learned to lead, perform, and stay grounded in the moments that mattered most. 

Together, they break down how high performance is not about pushing harder, but about becoming ready to respond when conditions are anything but ideal. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to use boundaries as a performance tool, not a limitation
• Why emotional signals are data, not distractions
• A simple, in-the-moment reset to regain clarity under pressure

Because performance doesn’t break down from lack of ability. It breaks down when everything hits at once. 

If you want to stay steady, clear, and effective when it matters most, this conversation will meet you there.
