SUNDAY SCARES

Season 1 Episode 2

​​In this episode of The Bravery Academy, Emma Ferris, and Dr. Victoria Thompson discuss how we can shift our reactivity at work to stress. The impact of the pandemic has caused an increase in anxiety and depression by 25%!


Dr. Vic and Emma discuss work-related stress and the challenges professionals face. They acknowledge the normalcy of stress and the anxieties that come with trying something new. Dr. Vic emphasizes the importance of recognizing stress as a growth opportunity and adopting a stress mindset.


They also highlight the lack of tools and education individuals receive to effectively deal with stress. The conversation sets the stage for future discussions on conflict, tough conversations, and creating a healthier work environment.


This episode is a must-listen no matter where you are in your career.
