Early Edge – Managing Stressful Moments

from The Early Edge Mentorship Podcast · host Jay Messner and Jeff Andrews

Stress shows up in different ways—sometimes as a sudden “holy crap” moment, and other times as the slow buildup of many things hitting at once. In this episode, Jay and Jeff share personal stories from both their work and personal lives, from unexpected news and job changes to real-life moments that instantly shift your perspective. They talk about how to respond in those situations and how to focus on what you can control when everything feels uncertain. They also explore the difference between known stressors and the unknowns that can easily consume our attention if we let them. Whether you’re navigating a single high-pressure moment or a stressful season, this conversation offers practical ways to stay grounded and move forward.

Stress can hit all at once—or build up over time. In this episode, Jay and Jeff share personal and work stories about both, from single high-pressure moments to stress that accumulates. We also talk through practical ways to handle these situations and stay grounded when things feel overwhelming.
