What if the biggest deal you’re negotiating… is the one you’re making with yourself every single day?
In this powerful masterclass episode, we unpack the hidden cost of stress, burnout, and emotional overwhelm—and why pushing harder might actually be the worst strategy you can choose. From the front lines of emergency medicine to the depths of somatic psychology, you’ll hear two expert perspectives that will challenge how you think about productivity, performance, and well-being.
Dr. Tamara Beckford breaks down the science of burnout—from subtle fatigue to full-blown crisis—and reveals why self-care isn’t selfish, it’s a strategic advantage. Learn how to advocate for yourself at work, lead with intention, and turn stress management into a measurable ROI for both your career and your organization.
Then, somatic psychotherapist Manuela Mischke-Reeds takes you deeper—into the body. Discover why your emotions aren’t obstacles to overcome, but intelligent signals to understand. Through the lens of trauma-informed leadership and embodiment, you’ll learn how to regulate your nervous system, navigate difficult conversations, and access a level of self-awareness most people never reach.
This episode isn’t just about managing stress—it’s about redefining success, reclaiming control, and making better internal “deals” that actually serve your life.
Because if you don’t learn how to negotiate with yourself… you might be winning at work, but losing where it matters most.
