In this wide-ranging and honest conversation, Leigh Campbell-Wan (from Lab & Soul), and Smith dive into stress, burnout, resilience, and the language we use that holds us back. From misunderstanding what “burnout” really means to how alcohol messes with your brain (and your sleep), this episode strips away the fluff around mental fitness and focuses on what actually helps you feel better, think clearer, and live more intentionally.

We break down common myths around stress elimination, talk about why “confidence” is rarely the real issue, and explore how familiar habits keep us stuck. There’s a deep dive into self-perception, emotional control, and even the neuroscience of email miscommunication.
