If you’re successful but constantly overwhelmed, it’s not because you’re broken. It’s because your nervous system may be using anxiety as fuel, and the long-term cost is your health, clarity, and peace.

High achievers often look composed on the outside while quietly running on pressure inside. In Part Two of Dr. Supatra Tovar’s conversation with internationally recognized mindset trainer, NLP expert, and hypnotherapy fellow Reg Malhotra, you’ll learn why many high performers are conditioned to rely on anxiety to get things done and how that pattern shows up as perfectionism, people-pleasing, and chronic stress.
Reg describes two major blind spots he sees repeatedly in business owners, professionals, and athletes: carrying past failures like a backpack that never comes off, and believing you have to be strong all the time. Together, these patterns can create a constant need to prove, making it harder to ask for help and easier to quietly suffer.
From there, the episode goes deeper into why so many people are driven by not enoughness. Reg explains how repeated exposure to scarcity messages conditions the mind and body, and how the world’s constant not enough messaging turns into I’m not enough over time. The antidote is more than positive thinking. It’s strategic exposure: environments, stories, and experiences that teach the nervous system what abundance feels like.
Dr. Tovar connects this to a practical media diet, intentional attention, and emotional intelligence. You’ll hear why awareness is the foundation of emotional intelligence, how to respond instead of react, and why building a healthier relationship with emotions helps with everything from decision-making to eating cues and self-trust.
Finally, Reg shares his go-to intervention for sustainable change: clarifying personal values (not corporate values) and aligning 70–80% of your life with them over time. Not through impulsive life overhauls, but through a realistic, step-by-step plan that honors responsibilities while moving toward a life that actually fits who you are.
