About this listen
We’re often told that if we were more disciplined, we’d be more consistent.
But what if discipline isn’t the real issue?
In this episode of The Resilient Mind™, we explore what actually happens inside the brain and nervous system when stress rises—and why pushing harder can quietly backfire.
When pressure is high, executive functioning takes a back seat and survival systems step in. And when that shift happens, discipline doesn’t disappear—it gets overridden.
This conversation reframes stress not as a personal failure, but as a misalignment in leadership roles within the system.
If you’ve ever thought, “I know what I need to do — I just can’t do it,” this episode will offer a new way to understand what’s really happening.
Because it may not be that you need to do more.
It may be about allowing leadership to come back online.
