78. Preparing for the Stress and Pressure Before It Hits

Are you managing your stress, or simply powering through it?

In this week's episode of The Language of Behavior, Josh and Charle talk about what happens when the demands of work start to take over and why work life balance is not the answer. As the school year ramps up, they explore the idea of building capacity under pressure, staying present, and making sure reactivity does not take over when stress starts to rise.

The conversation focuses on practical ways to prepare before chaos hits, including noticing stress signals, naming what you are feeling, setting clear start and stop times, building habits ahead of time, and creating small resets that help you stay regulated. Josh and Charle also remind listeners that capacity is not just personal, it affects the people around you too.
