High performers often excel in their careers but struggle silently with emotional regulation, strained relationships, and a constant feeling of disconnection. In this episode, neuro-emotional intelligence expert Leila Entezam breaks down why these patterns are so common—and what to do about them.
From misunderstood communication styles to the hidden costs of efficiency, Leila shares powerful insights from her work with elite performers, along with practical tools to build emotional mastery without sacrificing ambition. Topics include imposter syndrome, attachment patterns, self-awareness, and redefining balance.
Whether you’ve been called a narcissist, feel stuck in surface-level relationships, or just want to deepen your inner work, this conversation will shift your perspective and challenge how you define peak performance.
