Description

In this episode, I unpack hurrying sickness, a chronic state of internal urgency that quietly erodes your calm, presence, and leadership effectiveness. Drawing on research, neuroscience, and my personal healthcare leadership experience, I walk you through 7 subtle signs you may be living in urgency mode, from constant multitasking and impatience to feeling uneasy when things finally slow down. This isn’t about doing less or fixing yourself—it’s about noticing how speed is shaping your nervous system, your relationships, and the quality of your leadership. If you’re a frontline healthcare leader who feels rushed and disconnected from your sense of peace, this episode offers a powerful reframe—and simple ways to begin interrupting the cycle of hurry without adding anything to your to-do list.
