Episode notes
In this episode of Behavioral Profit, Debbie Longo sits down with licensed psychotherapist, certified hypnotherapist, and anxiety coach Shelly Martinez to unpack the hidden impact of high-functioning anxiety on leaders and top performers. Shelly explains how subtle burnout erodes decision-making, creativity, and team culture, and why perfectionism is a silent roadblock rather than a strength. Together, they explore practical, evidence-based interventions leaders can use to build brain-friendly cultures, prevent burnout, and rewire anxious minds for sustainable success. Listeners will learn how stress affects productivity, how leaders can model positive behaviors, and how rewiring the nervous system can transform both performance and workplace energy.
