The Pressure Reset
A free guide for women in demanding careers, including four short guided audios you can use before, during, and after your highest-stakes moments.
If any of this sounds like your week, The Pressure Reset is for you.…
Your boss Slacks you and wants you on a call, now.
A message lands and you feel your heart rate spike before you've even opened it.
You're moving from one demanding meeting straight into another.
A meeting didn't go how you wanted, and you can't stop replaying it.
Someone challenges your work and you want to fire back immediately.
You're about to walk into a room where the stakes feel unusually high.
High-pressure moments don’t always give you time to prepare.
Sometimes you know the difficult meeting is coming.
Sometimes something happens and you have a little time to decide how you want to respond.
And sometimes the moment is already over, but your mind is still replaying it.
The Pressure Reset gives you three tools for those different moments, plus a quick reset you can use anytime.
You don’t need all of them today. Start with the one that matches where you are right now.
What’s Inside:
Before the pressure hits
Prepare
4 min audio
For the meeting, presentation, or difficult conversation you can already feel building. Get grounded, reconnect with what you know, and decide how you want to show up before you walk in.
When the pressure hits
Pause
3 min audio
For the moment something triggers you and you feel the urge to react. Create space between what happened and what you do next, so you can respond deliberately instead of at the speed of the pressure.
After the pressure hits
Rebound
4 min audio
For when the moment is over but your mind is still replaying it. Separate what actually happened from what you're making it mean, and decide what, if anything, still needs your attention.
Plus, a 60-second reset for whenever you need to come down a notch and regain your footing, whether you have a full minute or only a few seconds.
Works along with any of the other three, or on its own.
