The Dark Side of Drive

With the renewal of the New Year, there is hope, excitement, and trepidation.?

Our society often glorifies hustle: "Push harder, Move faster, Achieve more.” ? These mantras dominate boardrooms, self-help seminars, and social media feeds - hoping to fuel our ambition. ?But does the latent stress they induce justify our sacrifices???

The hidden costs of chronic stress are evident. It has been shown to …

• Increase?the risk of developing?Alzheimer's?disease by approximately?30%
• Contribute to?40%?of?heart disease cases, underscoring its critical role in cardiovascular health
• Be even more prevalent, with 43% of adults feeling more anxious than the previous year.

It erodes physical health, impairs mental clarity, and drains the very focus and productivity we strive to achieve

Join us for a conversation about?"The Dark Side of Drive."? ?We will explore how cortisol and adrenaline, the biochemical engines of overdrive, shift from being tools of survival to agents of harm.? ?Join us to understand how stress can promote resilience and how to stop working in crisis mode.?

See you Thursday, January 16th, Noon ET.

Camille

??Food for Thought:

Hustle ≠ Happiness: Success achieved at the expense of health is a hollow victory.

Where are you sacrificing long-term well-being for short-term wins?
