The world feels intense right now.

From political shakeups to cultural instability, rapid AI acceleration to social unrest, many of us are asking the same question:

How do we stay informed without becoming overwhelmed?
How do we lead without burning out?
How do we stay human in the chaos?

In this episode of How to Stay Human, Tori Gordon and Kyle Herron explore the intersection of nervous system regulation, emotional intelligence, leadership, and sovereignty in a rapidly changing world.

This is a conversation about nervous system mastery, high performance without burnout, and why the next generation of leaders must be regulated leaders.
