Harness stress as a springboard to launch into a competitive advantage through change and challenge.
Explore Your Stress SpringLoad
So why can’t we train our brains to be excited about the things causing us fear, anxiety, and stress [and maybe stop losing $300 billion annually on what stress costs us and start improving our wellbeing]?
we can.
Using proven scientific principles, we can rewire our brains to skyrocket our performance, collaboration, and creativity no matter what obstacle we’re facing.

Hi, I'm
Dr. Rebecca
Stress Physiologist, Author, and Keynote Speaker
I’ve studied how our biology impacts us for over 15 years. I’ve won research awards, and my dissertation on the effects of stress and fear was deemed transformative by the National Science Foundation.
But it wasn’t until my sister-in-law was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a terminal brain cancer, that I realized I wasn’t applying my science to my life.
Let me explain.
Our brains are powerful, but they allow fear, especially subconscious fear, to dictate our choices if we let them. We wind up stressed out, struggling to achieve our goals, and unable to reach our potential.
Like most of us, I was just letting my life unfold with fear at the helm. But I didn’t have to. I could transform my fear into fuel and begin to achieve [and be] so much more. More authentic. More courageous. More productive...more ME.
After all, I knew the science.
I decided to change my life [aka. complete upheaval]. As I walked through a VERY uncomfortable year, I began to rewire my brain, working with my biology instead of against it. It didn’t happen overnight, but the result reshaped my life in profound ways.
Fast forward 6 years, and I was diagnosed with glioblastoma myself [spoiler alert: it was a mistake]. Reading the doctor’s report, I realized I felt calm. Not because I had a death wish or had eradicated fear [that’s a terrible idea], but because fear and stress weren’t running my life anymore. I'd found a new level of satisfaction and contentedness…of owning my stress, rather than my stress owning me.
That’s what I want for you. I want you to be able to win through change and challenges and transform your stress, anxiety, and fear into a competitive advantage because you can.
It’s not rocket science, but it will launch you into a future worth having.
Let’s make it happen together.

DEF: To consciously sort through our fears and decide what’s worthy of our attention rather than let our subconscious drive our decisions.
To choose our responses and show up ALL-IN, authentically making decisions for ourselves—both personally and professionally.
[Note: not the same as fearless, which this particular author finds to be a very poor choice.]
1. Recalibrate
First, we train our brains to recognize what’s real danger and what isn’t by intentionally stepping into [very] uncomfortable situations and using the Fear(less) Stress Formula to transform our fear into fuel.
2. Reframe
Next, we internalize the correlation between a purpose-filled life and STRESS by leveraging the Winner’s Effect to begin shifting our perspective on perceived threats until we see them as adventures rather than stressors.
3. Realign
Now we can engage ALL IN, leaning into the neuroscience of story to remind ourselves that we are part of a larger team and our true superpower lies in showing up authentically within that team—innovating, collaborating, and using our stress to springboard us to our highest performance.

What Happens When You
Transform Your Fear and Stress into Rocket Fuel?
Understanding how our brain processes the information deluge it’s met with each day allows us to use biologically backed strategies for getting more done throughout the day (without feeling so exhausted).
Using scientifically backed techniques to stop fearing stress, failure, and rejection, we can more readily lean into our highest, most purposeful lives and show up for others fearlessly.
We become two times less likely to lose the ability to concentrate and two times less likely to make mistakes when we leverage stress to our advantage rather than letting it leverage us.
Curiosity and fear cannot coexist in the brain. It’s as simple as that. When we displace fear with curiosity, we allow new creative solutions to problems that have haunted us to emerge.
We are one and a half times less likely to consider new work opportunities when we know how to transform our fear into fuel and are equipped with the tools to engage ALL-IN.
