Why do we spiral when our goals get delayed, and how do high performers actually regulate their emotions in those moments?

In this episode of the Unbreakable Podcast, we break down practical tools for emotional regulation, mindset mastery, leadership growth, anxiety management, and personal development when timelines fall apart.

If you’ve ever struggled with:

• Goal setting and missed deadlines

• Anxiety when plans change

• Career decisions (stay vs. leave)

• Podcasting and building a personal brand

• Comparison, people-pleasing, or performance pressure

• Food noise, dieting mindset, or mental discipline

This episode walks through the exact frameworks we use:

✅ Metacognition (thinking about your thinking)

✅ The neuroscience behind the Reticular Activating System (RAS)

✅ Why “action kills anxiety” is a proven behavioral strategy

✅ The “Sunday Scaries” test for career clarity

✅ How to reduce emotional reactivity in high-stress situations

✅ How to shift from deprivation thinking to empowered choice

Plus, we share a major update: we’ve officially started recording the Unbreakable audiobook, bringing these leadership and resilience tools directly to your ears.

If you’re into self-improvement, high-performance habits, leadership development, resilience training, mental toughness, career growth, or mindset transformation, this one’s for you.

“If you’re ‘high-performing’ but running on fumes… this episode is your permission slip to pivot, protect your peace, and still win.”

You can be ambitious and regulated, you don’t have to choose.

In this episode of the Unbreakable Podcast Network, Kait and Josie go full real-time from Singapore: travel chaos, global work, high-performance pressure, and the actual practices that prevent burnout without killing momentum.

They break down why burnout isn’t just “too much work”, it’s leaky boundaries, messy focus, and zero recovery. You’ll also hear updates on Unbreakable heading toward publication (plus audiobook plans + “side quests”), and why cultural respect matters when bringing resilience work across countries and industries.

If you’re juggling career, leadership, training, family, or just trying to not explode from group chats… this one’s for you.

In this episode, we cover:

-Why focus management is key for time management for burnout prevention

-“Action kills anxiety”, how to pivot when life changes fast

-Phone boundaries, message guilt, and the myth of being “on” 24/7

-Hustle culture recovery: how to rest without spiraling

-Global leadership + cultural respect (from London to Bahrain)

-Listener Qs: unlearning validation, handling disagreement, and burnout-proof performance

-The “empty boat mindset” + why not everything is personal
