From a client who resolved five years of fertility struggles in a single month, to an entrepreneur who finally wrote his newsletter after six months of avoidance — Dr. Lopez makes the science feel real, relatable, and immediately actionable.\nYou'll also hear a candid conversation about the post-pandemic workplace, the hidden costs of remote and hybrid work on human connection, the neurobiology of presenteeism, and why 75% of high-performing leaders come from a background of adversity — and what that means for organizational culture.\nWhether you're an HR professional, a CEO, or a people leader trying to move the needle on burnout, retention, and employee wellbeing, this episode will change how you think about your most valuable resource: your people.\n🔗 Find Dr. Julie Lopez at: www.leaderslovinglife.com\n📖 Grab her book Live Empowered — and access free nervous system reset resources on her site.\n🌐 Learn more about The O'Connor Group: https://tocgrp.com/insights/podcasts","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/hLiJggC5m0Sh0RWgWITeZ_X29QquvXkSkUjoxcMmAo0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84MjA4/NWRjMGFjMjBiNmE1/YjhiMThiYmZkNDJi/NzRkYy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
