Episode 1 — Reactive vs Regulated: Why Your Nervous System Might Be Sabotaging Your Success

Welcome to the first episode of Wired for Wonder. In this rebranded season, Dr. Chris Lee explores what it really means to thrive in today’s overstimulated world.

In this episode, Chris asks a powerful question:

👉 Can a reactive behavior look the same in a regulated nervous system?

He shares raw stories of building his career while battling anxiety, grief, and burnout — and reveals what happens when you finally trade chaos for calm.

• Why anxiety can feel productive — but isn’t.

• The hidden cost of “running on stress” (and why it keeps you stuck).

• How regulation doesn’t kill your edge, it strengthens it.

• The science of executive function when calm vs. reactive.

• How to build sustainable productivity without burning out.

• “Running on anxiety is like driving a semi-truck to buy groceries.”

• “Your nervous system isn’t broken — it’s just expensive fuel.”

• “Presence is power. Consistency is impact.”
