This is part 1 of a 4-part series on leading through high pressure at work, with licensed psychologist Dr. Janna Koretz. Each episode explores a different theme—clarity, self-awareness, team dynamics, and workplace culture.

What does “high pressure” actually mean in the workplace? In this episode, Dr. Janna Koretz—licensed psychologist and founder of Azimuth Psychological—joins host Russel Lolacher to reframe how we define stress at work. From Amazon warehouse workers to C-suite execs, no role is immune. You’ll hear why blanket definitions don’t work, how our relationship to pressure is deeply personal, and why even successful professionals end up burned out and lost. This is a must-listen for anyone navigating toxic hustle culture, performance anxiety, or leadership overwhelm.
