Endurance MindedWhy You Break Down When It Matters MostPressure doesn’t create your reactions; it reveals them.
In this episode of Endurance Minded, Taylor Thomas dives into Emotional Capacity Under Pressure: the ability to stay grounded, intentional, and effective when stakes are high and stress is real. Whether it’s a hard conversation, a major decision, competition day, or a pivotal business moment, your emotional capacity determines how you show up, not your discipline, experience, or intelligence.
This episode explores why pressure collapses performance, how emotional overload shrinks your decision-making ability, and how to build the internal capacity required to lead, compete, and perf...

But almost no one trains their emotions, and it’s quietly sabotaging performance, leadership, and fulfillment.
In this solo episode of Endurance Minded, Taylor Thomas introduces the concept of Emotional Fitness: the ability to recognize, regulate, and recover from emotional stress with the same intentionality we bring to physical training. You’ll learn why untrained emotions create hidden drag, how emotional avoidance shows up as burnout and inconsistency, and how to build emotional capacity without becoming “soft” or losing your edge.
