There's a quiet form of stress we mistake for normal — a constant readiness that silently drains our energy. I personally discovered it not too long ago, and in this episode I share how to spot it and take your power back.

You'll learn:

• The brain science behind anticipation and anxiety
• How even a silent phone nearby burns glucose and attention
• Why this "always-on" state disrupts sleep and mood
• The benefits of phone-free walks and mindful mornings
• Simple ways to turn outward alertness into inward awareness
