Wired for Wonder

We are back.

It has been a while since we had a proper sit down, caffeine fueled conversation. But here we are with my non-caffeine fueled friend Christopher Graeves. Our relationship started professionally and moved into a friendship over 5 years.

If you would have asked me 7 years ago if the concepts we go over in this podcast would actually help you out of your problems in life I'd just laugh.

Now I know that losing yourself in the process of fixing your problems is the greatest sacrifice I hope no one ever has to make.

PS: if you don't know I'm writing a book on Dopamine. If you want to really know how it works and what you can do about it to make a sustainable change in your life head over to my website.

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.”
