How to Stay Steady When Everything Feels Like It’s on Fire - Ep. 15

from The Inspired Healthcare Leader | Healthcare Leadership, Work-Life Balance, Managing Change · host Mara Ergas-Zabari RN, PhD - Healthcare Leader, Consultant, & Researcher

In this episode, we’re diving deep into one of the biggest challenges healthcare leaders face: staying steady when everything feels like it’s on fire. When the pressure’s high and the urgency is overwhelming, your brain’s survival wiring kicks in—and emotional regulation can feel impossible. But here’s the truth: calm isn’t a luxury—it’s essential for powerful leadership. Tune in as I break down the science behind stress hijacking, share my real-world story of leading through total chaos in a NICU, and offer simple, practical steps to help you regulate yourself, even when your world feels like it’s spinning. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck in survival mode, this episode is packed with tools to help you lead with clarity, steadiness, and intention—no matter how high the winds get.   Website: maraergaszabari.com Leadership clarity quiz: If you’d like a supportive way to understand what’s shaping your leadership right now, you can bookmark the free quiz at healthcareleaderquiz.com
