Employees today are facing unprecedented levels of stress, burnout, and emotional exhaustion — but many don’t realize how chronic stress and trauma can actually change the way the brain and body respond to everyday challenges. For this podcast, host Yeji Lee sits down with Licensed Professional Counselor and Onsite Clinician, Jennifer Wilson, to explore the science behind trauma, the brain’s survival response, and why so many employees find themselves stuck in “survival mode” at work. They discuss how chronic stress can impact focus, emotions, relationships, and overall well-being, while offering practical strategies for building resilience and creating healthier workplace habits. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, constantly on edge, or simply curious about how stress affects performance, this conversation provides valuable insight, actionable tools, and a reminder that support is available before stress becomes a crisis.
