We chat about the following with Chris Hatfield: 

1. What if naming your anxiety was the first step to taking back control?
2. How can leaders foster vulnerability without losing authority?
3. Is your ‘stress container’ full, and how do you know when it’s overflowing?
4. Are we truly addressing the root of anxiety, or just applying quick fixes?
5. What if managing mental health was less about avoidance and more about sitting with discomfort?
