How do you build a career, raise a young family, and maintain sanity when everything feels like it’s peaking at once?

In this episode of Excel Talks, we look back a decade with two alumni, host Guy Mizrahi (Excel ’15), a psychologist specializing in sports and performance, and guest Nati Miron (Excel ’15), Partner at OCI & Chairman of the Excel Israel Alumni organization.

They get real about the "Exhaustion of Matter" (עייפות החומר) - that heavy feeling of trying to keep up a normal routine while living through constant, active pressure. Guy and Nati discuss why the secret to surviving the grind isn’t doing more, but having the grit to focus on just one mission and the wisdom to accept the sacrifices that come with it. By shifting from the trap of "moving goalposts" to prioritizing mental hygiene and deep human connections, they offer a roadmap for staying grounded and finding true well-being in an overwhelming world.

This episode is a reminder that in high-pressure environments, mental hygiene, clarity of purpose, and human connection are not luxuries - they’re essentials.
