In this episode, we dive into what really happens in your body when you're constantly stressed at work, and why jumping from job to job isn't a long-term solution. I break down my three-tier approach to understanding nervous system resilience:

·       The Bottom: Low energy states (burnout, depression)

·       The Middle: "Home" (where we want to spend most of our time)

·       The Top: High energy states (stress, anxiety)

Learn why building your "home" level is crucial for long-term career success, and why both high and low energy states should be like vacation homes - places you visit but don't live in permanently.

Plus, I share my personal story of realizing I didn't even have a "home" level during my time at Amazon, and how that contributed to my burnout.

Key Takeaway: The path from unknown to known is scary, but that's where real growth happens. Learning to be okay while you're not okay - that's true resilience.
