Show Notes

Did you know that entrepreneurs typically operate in a constant high-arousal state, because of the pressure of their role? In this insightful episode, Dr. Sherry Walling unveils effective strategies for entrepreneurs and high performers to manage anxiety. She draws from her experience with veterans and high-stress professionals to offer the 'Three B's' approach: Breath, Body, and Brain.


Discover how our body and brain can misinterpret danger, leading to heightened anxiety states even in the absence of real threats, and how simple techniques like deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation can activate the vagus nerve, a key player in calming the body's fight or flight response.
