Dr. Ebony Stone shares her powerful journey from high-functioning anxiety in corporate America to finding freedom through intentional pauses. She reveals how success became a beautifully decorated mask for her internal struggles until her body forced her to stop.
• Defining success by external achievements and tying identity to being "the smart girl"
• The reality of looking composed on the outside while crumbling on the inside
• How high-functioning anxiety often affects high achievers who appear to have it all together
• The breaking point that led to Dr. Stone's six-month leave from corporate America
• Why "the pause" isn't a vacation but rather hard emotional work and confronting difficult truths
• Physical improvements that came from addressing mental health, including better sleep and lower blood pressure
• The PAUSE framework for incorporating intentional pauses into daily life
• Redefining success on your own terms rather than by worldly standards
