Why does it feel like the better you get at your job, the harder it is to handle life? You may be a high-performance pro, but a lack of healthy coping habits could be silently leading you to a breakdown.

In episode 47 of the Wisdom of Wrench podcast, host Kevin Comerford gets personal. He shares his own story of hitting a wall and reveals the unhealthy habits many of us use to deal with stress. This isn't about working harder. It's about learning the mental and physical tools for personal growth that can help you manage stressful situations, avoid burnout, and build a stronger future. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, this is a conversation you need to hear.
