When Stillness Feels Unsafe (7/8)

About this episode

Dr. Blossom discusses the challenges high performers face with internal stillness and offers insights on managing an achievement-driven nervous system.

High performers rarely struggle with discipline, they struggle with internal stillness. In this episode, Dr. Blossom breaks down why slowing down can feel unsafe to an achievement-wired nervous system and how to build the range to lead, think, and live without running hot all the time.
