We ALL Want to Succeed and Achieve our Goals.
But in a world where stress is causing 82% of workers to burn out (DHR Global, 2024),
We Need BETTER Solutions.
MY SOLUTION? Work with the ROOT Cause of Stress
How Stress Works
Stress follows a FOUR-step stress cycle for all animals:
1) Trigger: We perceive a threat to life or status. This is largely unconscious and happens faster than the thinking brain.
2) Chemical Response: We automatically secrete stress chemicals. These include cortisol, adrenaline, and glucose.
3) Survive the Threat: The chemicals fuel our fight, flight, and freeze response. This helps us escape the threat.
4) Release Stress Hormones: After the threat, we release the accumulated stress hormones. This makes us feel physiologically SAFE.
Thanks to over 500 million years of evolution, this is what we're DESIGNED to do.
The Missing Piece
We don't release the stress hormones. So we STAY stressed, even when the danger has passed.
Cortisol is DESIGNED to alert us to danger.
Not completing the stress cycle makes us:
Fear-driven instead of REWARD-driven.
Reactive instead of RESPONSIVE.
Anxious instead of RESILIENT.
Over time, this leads to less productivity and more BURNOUT.

I'm Dr. Susie, and I'm here to help your people stop surviving and start THRIVING.
I spent 12 grueling years in academia earning my Ph.D. from Brown University and working as a professor.
I followed all the "right" advice: fake it til you make it, stay strong, push through.
Result? Complete burnout. I quit my tenure-track job.
That's when I dove into the research and discovered the science of stress - and it changed my life.
Now I'm on a mission to help every human and organization achieve their potential without burning out - and while living lives they love.
