If you have ever felt like a missed deadline or a difficult client was a life-or-death situation, this solo episode with Lee is going to resonate. With Richard travelling to Europe for Christmas, Lee takes the mic to share some thoughts on a tough week involving local bushfires and high-pressure deadlines.

She looks at the concept of 'manufactured stress' (a term Richard uses) and why our nervous systems struggle to tell the difference between a genuine threat to our safety and a bad day at the office. Lee shares a personal story about preparing a fire plan and realising that in a true survival moment, the business problems that had been keeping her awake simply didn't matter.

You can learn how to catch yourself when you spiral into that fight-or-flight mode. Lee offers a grounding reminder that outside of health and family, almost every business mistake is undoable, fixable, or rebuildable. It is a short, honest check-in that might just help lower your heart rate today.

If you enjoy it, they'd love to hear from you!
