Stress is often seen as the enemy, something to be avoided at all costs. But what if stress could actually work for you instead of against you? In this episode, I break down the difference between good stress (eustress) and bad stress (distress) and share how you can harness stress to fuel your growth instead of draining your energy.

In this episode, we cover:
✅ What is good stress (eustress), and how does it help you?
✅ How bad stress (distress) can drain your energy and lead to burnout
✅ The impact of stress on leadership, decision-making, and team dynamics
✅ Strategies to reframe stress, set boundaries, and create recovery zones
✅ How to make stress a tool for growth rather than a roadblock

Key Takeaways:
👉 Not all stress is bad—some stress pushes you to perform and grow.
👉 Your perception of stress determines its impact—reframing stress as a challenge can help.
👉 Leaders need to model healthy stress management to avoid passing stress onto their teams.
👉 High achievers thrive under pressure—but it’s crucial to balance performance with recovery time.
