I'm sharing the basics that changed everything for my executive coaching clients—and it might surprise you.

After 250 podcast episodes, I'm going back to fundamentals because the basics are what actually work. If you're dealing with workplace anxiety or feeling stuck despite your success, this episode is for you.

Here's what most people get wrong: 80% of what you feel is completely outside your control. Your past experiences, triggers, and automatic responses—you can't change those. But here's the game-changer: you can learn to work with them instead of against them.

The remaining 20% comes from your thoughts—and this is where your power lives.

When you understand this framework, you stop trying to control everything and start focusing on what actually moves the needle in your career.

Key Takeaways:

· Emotional health isn't feeling good all the time—it's knowing how to feel whatever comes up

· Your brain is wired for danger—you must train it to look for safety and opportunity

· The success formula isn't do-feel-think, it's think-feel-do

· Managing your mental input is as important as any career strategy

· Everyone needs a coach—even coaches need coaches

Don't wait for "after this project" to invest in yourself. Every week you wait is another week watching less qualified people get promoted while you stay exhausted.
