When Work Gets Personal: Practicing Self-Regulation Under Pressure
What does it look like to stay grounded at work when emotions are high, conversations are hard, and people are looking to you to lead?
In this episode of Making Wholeness Possible, Danae and Ken are joined by Kelly Andamasaris, co-owner and administrator of Absorbent Minds Montessori School, for a practical and honest conversation about self-regulation in the workplace.
Kelly shares what she has learned through nearly two decades of leading a school community, including how to pause before reacting, listen when others are emotional, hold compassion and boundaries together, and recognize when someone else’s anxiety does not have to become your own.
Together, Danae, Ken, and Kelly talk about the real work of emotional maturity: not shutting off your feelings, but learning how to steward them well so they serve the moment instead of controlling it.
This conversation is for leaders, teachers, parents, business owners, team members, and anyone who wants to show up with more intention when work feels personal, pressured, or emotionally charged.
SHOW NOTES:
Ways to get into action this week:
- Notice when you start taking something personally. Pause and ask, “Is this really about me, or could this be about their anxiety, worry, or fear?”
- Practice caring for others without taking responsibility for fixing everything for them.
- Pay attention to where empathy may be pulling you into someone else’s emotions instead of helping you stay grounded and present.
- Build your tolerance for emotional discomfort, both in yourself and in the people around you.
- Choose one hard moment this week to pause, calm yourself, think, and then respond from who you want to be.
