  • 4.Taking Leila Hormozi’s advice one level deeper
    Emotions, Stress Physiology & the Numbness of Success

    Leila Hormozi says freedom comes from following a plan, not your feelings, and she’s right. But what you do with your emotions while you follow that plan decides whether you’ll ever actually enjoy what you build. Former medical doctor Izabela Rauschen takes it one level deeper and explains what happens in your body when you set your feelings aside to get things done.

    In this episode, Izabela talks about:

    ◼️ What happens in your body when you hold it together on the outside
    ◼️ Why your system can’t tell fear from excitement, and shuts down both
    ◼️ Why the champagne moment after a big win can feel like nothing
    ◼️ Why the next level won’t make you feel more
    ◼️ Functional freeze: performing at the top while feeling less and less inside
    ◼️ Why breathwork, cold plunges and morning routines often keep you coping instead of free

  • 3. Your game face is making you boring (And costing you money)
    Presence, Authenticity & the Biggest Differentiator for Entrepreneurs in the Age of AI

    The most polished person in the room is rarely the one people buy from. Izabela flew from Germany to New York for Josh Pais’s workshop "The Art of Play" and watched in real time what happens the moment someone stops being themselves and starts performing.

    In this episode, Izabela talks about:

    ◼️ The exact moment a room stops listening to you
    ◼️ Why trying to calm your nerves before a big moment can make you less magnetic
    ◼️ The performer you build under pressure, and what it costs you in business
    ◼️ Why people are so tired of fake, and why that makes authenticity your competitive advantage
    ◼️ What disconnecting from yourself has to do with the people you love getting your leftovers
    ◼️ How to stay connected to yourself under pressure, and why that keeps your momentum going
