3 Big Ideas from Me Use these ideas to take action this week. Pick one and try it — small shifts create big change.

1. Stress isn’t just a personal issue — it’s a structural one.
   Workload, unclear roles, constant urgency, and lack of support create invisible pressure that individuals can’t “self-care” away.
2. Regulated leaders create regulated environments.
   A calm presence, predictable behavior, and clear communication are powerful stress reducers.
3. Small adjustments change everything.
   Better prioritization, fewer unnecessary meetings, clearer processes — these reduce stress more than any wellness app.
