We’ve been told that pushing harder, grinding through, and “toughing it out” is the path to success. But what if that old model of mental toughness is actually holding you back?

In this episode we flip the script on everything you thought you knew about resilience, motivation, and performance—especially as we age. We unpack the science of the nervous system, reveal how chronic stress sabotages progress, and introduce a revolutionary (and far more effective) approach to strength: building from safety, not suppression.

With real-life examples, and science-backed strategies you can use immediately, you’ll learn how to shift from burnout to breakthrough—and why regulating your nervous system might just be the most badass thing you ever do.

If you’ve ever felt like you were doing “everything right” but still stuck in fatigue, fear, or frustration, this episode is for you.

Listen in and redefine what it truly means to be strong.
