Summary

You don’t need to feel calm to stay in control. In this raw and eye-opening episode, Kwame Christian sits down with The Anxious Achiever host Morra Aarons-Mele to unpack what really happens when anxiety hits in the middle of a high-stakes conversation. Whether you're a leader, negotiator, or just trying to survive the next Zoom meeting, this conversation offers practical tools to ground yourself, recover in real-time, and stop letting anxiety run the show. Morra breaks down the science, shares life-saving techniques from her work with high performers, and reveals why anxiety isn't something to conquer — it's something to understand, respect, and work with. This episode is not about avoiding discomfort. It's about learning to lead through it.
