131 | How Stress Changes Your Decision Making (And How to Think Clearly Under Pressure)

If you’ve ever wondered why you make poor decisions under pressure, overthink simple choices, avoid difficult conversations, or say yes when you know you should say no, this episode will help you understand why. We explore how stress affects decision-making, what happens in the brain and nervous system when pressure rises, and why high-performing women often struggle to think clearly under stress despite being highly capable leaders. Whether you’re navigating pressure at home or leading in the workplace, this episode will help you understand how resilience, emotional regulation, and internal capacity directly influence decision quality, leadership effectiveness, and sustainable performance. _____________________________________________________________ For Individual Support Feeling frazzled, reactive, or constantly “on”?
