Written by Danijella Dragas, CEO Miss. Dragas was employed by the Bear Stearns Investment Banking firm for over 18 years. She worked in their offices in London, São Paulo, Beijing, New York, and Irvine. Her specialty was asset management, capital markets/investment banking during her final four years at Bear Stearns, Miss. Dragas was one of the original team members who introduced Bear Stearns mortgages to the banking industry in the residential wholesale market. President Trump remained bullish about the USA’s economic prospects through this year, even as the Federal Reserve declined to cut interest rates and his tariff deadline looms. While the country's economic outlook will come into clearer focus with U.S. inflation numbers and tomorrow's jobs report, experts agree that President Trump's tariffs are distorting the picture and adding uncertainty, even if markets are mostly starting to shrug. Fed impact President Trump on Wednesday touted the new gross domestic product (GDP) numbers on Truth Social, calling the 3 percent growth “Way better than expected!”The president again urged Fed Chair Jerome Powell, whom he criticized with the nickname "Too Late," to lower interest rates. Powell has pointed to uncertainty surrounding tariffs as a reason the Fed is keeping rates steady.“No inflation! Let people buy and refinance their homes!” President Trump wrote. Powell did not buckle under President Trump’s pressure campaign, instead keeping short-term interest rates at a level of 4.25 percent to 4.5 percent. But in a lack of consensus not seen in 30 years, two of the central bank’s governors dissented from the decision. Both are in the running for the job of Fed chair, which will open at the end of Powell’s term next May. Powell downplayed the significance of the dissents during a Wednesday press conference, praising Fed Vice Chair of Supervision Michelle Bowman and board member Christopher Waller, both Trump appointees, for laying out clear cases for their decisions. “This was quite a good meeting all around the table,” Powell said. “People thought carefully about this and put their positions out there. The majority of the committee was of the view that inflation is a bit above target. Maximum employment is at target. That calls for modestly restrictive [interest rates] in my way of thinking.” Looking up Tariffs and uncertainty upended business plans and changed consumers’ spending decisions early this year, leading economic growth to soften. But adjusted for inflation, GDP increased at a 3 percent annual rate in the second quarter, the Commerce Department said , topping forecasters’ expectations. Economists warn the latest figures may be painting a more upbeat picture of the economy than warranted. “It’s hard to know exactly what’s happening because the whole trade war is leaving a real imprint on macroeconomic data,” Blerina Uruci, chief U.S. economist at T. Rowe Price, told The New York Times . “But the picture isn’t as rosy as a 2 or 3 percent growth rate would indicate.” The International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Tuesday upgraded the economic outlook for the U.S. and the world this year and next because Trump’s trade policies so far have proven less damaging than expected. The IMF forecasts 3 percent growth for the global economy this year, down from 3.3 percent in 2024, but an improvement on the 2.8 percent it had forecast for 2025 back in April. Companies “frontloading” imports before Trump’s tariffs went into effect, along with the slight tumble of the U.S. dollar, have assisted in the growth of the world economy, IMF’s chief economist, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, told the Financial Times . Bracing for tariffs Trump’s global “reciprocal” tariffs are set to take effect Friday, leaving countries scrambling to wrap up trade deals with the U.S. ahead of the deadline. Trump said Wednesday that he would not extend his self-imposed Aug. 1 deadline and announced a 25 percent tariff on imports from India, seemingly dashing hopes for an agreement with one of the U.S.’s largest trading partners in the next few days. Meanwhile, the president announced a trade deal with South Korea, matching the structure of deals with the European Union and the U.K. In a Truth Social post , Trump said South Korean imports would face a 15 percent tariff, while U.S. exports to the country would not be tariffed. The U.S. also reached trade agreements with Thailand and Cambodia, according to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. “The August first deadline is the August first deadline. It stands strong and will not be extended,” Trump posted. “A big day for America!” The Hill : Consumer products giant Procter & Gamble said it would raise prices on many products in part due to higher costs from Trump's tariffs. The Wall Street Journal : Ford Motor paid out more than $800 million in tariffs last quarter, despite manufacturing most of its vehicles in the U.S. The Hill : Trump is ending an exemption that allowed certain low-value commercial shipments into the United States without facing tariffs. The tariffs have brought much debate and controversy, but so far, the U.S. economy and housing market have responded favorably. This tool might be working well to bring the U.S. in line with the rest of the world’s economy and position the U.S. for a “fair is fair” world stage of aid and for the international trade of goods and services.

My throat burned when I breathed. “It’s just heat,” they said. “Just smoke from far away.”

Written by Regena (Rosa Celeste) Ozeryansky, Inner Peace & Transpersonal Guide I empower leaders to identify what’s secretly holding them back. The self-sabotage, the blocks, the patterns running on repeat so they can rewire from the inside out and finally access lasting peace, unstoppable productivity, and a life fully aligned with their purpose. Let me ask you something. Have you ever created the success you thought you wanted, only to realize you still did not feel peaceful? You reached the goal. You handled the crisis. You helped everybody else. You kept smiling, producing, leading, showing up, and doing all the things. Yet somewhere underneath it all, you still felt tired and unfulfilled. Not just physically tired. Soul tired. The kind of tired that comes from carrying too much, thinking too much, controlling too much, and rarely feeling safe enough to simply be. I know this space well. I have built businesses, created programs, written books, spoken on stages, supported others, and navigated more than a few unexpected plot twists along my journey. What I have learned is this. You do not need to sacrifice your peace in order to create success. You do, however, need to become honest about what is driving you. Because success created from fear will never feel like freedom. What’s worse, it will never sustain itself. Peace is not something you earn later Many of us treat peace like a retirement plan. We tell ourselves, “I will rest when this project is finished. I will slow down when the business grows. I will feel better when the money comes. I will take care of myself when everyone else is okay.” The problem is that there is always another project, another responsibility, another person who needs something, and another reason to postpone oneself. Peace cannot always be the reward waiting at the end of your exhaustion. It has to become part of how you live, lead, work, love, and make decisions now. Inner peace is not about avoiding ambition. It is about making sure your ambition is not secretly being run by fear, perfectionism, people pleasing, over responsibility, or the belief that you are only valuable when you are producing. Ask me how I know? That is not sustainable success. That is survival wearing a knockoff outfit. 1. Notice what is really driving you I know you’ve heard this before, and it’s worth repeating, awareness is where everything begins. Before we can change a pattern, we have to be willing to see it. That sounds simple, but it is not always comfortable, nor is it always easy to acknowledge. You may believe you are working hard because you are motivated. But underneath the motivation, there may be fear. Fear of slowing down. Fear of disappointing people. Fear of being forgotten. Fear of not having enough. Fear of not being enough. Fear that if you are not constantly moving, everything will fall apart. Pause and ask yourself, "What am I afraid will happen if I stop pushing? What do I believe my productivity proves about me? Am I creating from inspiration or reacting from pressure?" No judgment. No blame. Just awareness. The goal is not to shame the pattern. The goal is to understand it. Many of our patterns were created to protect us. They helped us survive, achieve, stay accepted, and, if we’re honest, feel in control. It took me a long time, but I learned that the magic is in giving thanks to the patterns for their service without allowing them to run the rest of our lives. 2. Regulate before you react Have you ever noticed that when your nervous system is overwhelmed, everything feels urgent? The email feels urgent. The decision feels urgent. The disagreement feels urgent. The need to fix, explain, defend, respond, and take control feels urgent. This is why regulation matters. Before you send the message, make the decision, end the relationship, fire the person, hire the person, or create an entire imaginary future based on one uncomfortable moment, please pause. Take a breath. Feel your feet. Relax your jaw. Lower your shoulders. Look around the room and remind your body that you are here, right now, and you are safe enough to choose your next response. You do not need to force calm. You are simply creating enough space between the trigger and the reaction to make a conscious decision. That space is powerful. That space is where peace begins. 3. Stop confusing productivity with worth High achievers are often praised for being capable. We become the dependable one. The strong one. The one who solves everything. The one everyone can call. It feels good to be needed until being needed becomes your entire identity. At some point, productivity can become the way we prove we are worthy. We begin to believe, I am valuable when I am helping. I am lovable when I am succeeding. I am safe when everybody is happy with me. I matter when I am producing. That is a brutal contract to live under. Want to hear the kicker? You are still worthy when you rest. You are still valuable when you say no. You are still lovable when someone does not understand you. You are still enough when you are not performing at your highest level. Your worth is not a reward for good behavior. 4. Ask whether the goal is actually yours Not every goal that looks impressive is aligned. Some goals come from our families. Some come from society. Some come from comparison. Some come from a younger version of us who was trying to prove something. There is nothing wrong with wanting more. The deeper question is, "Why do you want it?" Do you truly want the business, the platform, the title, the relationship, or the lifestyle? Or do you want what you believe it will say about you? Ask yourself, "Would I still want this if nobody applauded?" "Does this goal support the life I actually want?" "What will achieving this cost me?" "Who am I becoming while I pursue it?" Aligned success does not require you to abandon yourself along the way. It should support your peace, purpose, health, relationships, and prosperity, not destroy them. 5. Create boundaries before resentment does it for you Resentment is often a boundary trying to get your attention. It shows up when you continue saying yes while your entire body is saying no. It shows up when you keep rescuing people who are not taking responsibility for themselves. It shows up when you give, give, give, then feel angry that nobody noticed how much it cost you. I’ll be the first to admit, I struggled with this one for most of my life. It wasn’t until I was staring yet again at the white ceiling, asking myself, “How did I get here?” that I realized boundaries are not mean. They are not selfish. They are not spiritual failures. They are indeed and, in fact, clarity. A boundary may sound like, “I am not available for that.” “I need time to think.” “That does not work for me.” “I care about you, but I cannot carry this for you.” “I can support you without taking responsibility for the outcome.” You do not need to write a dissertation every time you say no. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is tell the truth clearly. 6. Question the stories in your head The mind is creative. Very creative. Sometimes a little too creative. A person does not respond, and suddenly they hate us. A client says no, and suddenly the entire business is failing. We make one mistake, and suddenly we are questioning every choice we have made. The event happens once. The mind creates the sequel, trilogy, and full streaming series. Pause and ask, "Is this true?" "Is this completely true?" "What else could be happening?" "Am I responding to the present moment or an old wound?" "What would I say to someone I love?" This is not about pretending everything is wonderful. It is about refusing to let fear write the entire story. Your thoughts deserve attention. They do not always deserve authority. 7. Choose wholeness over perfection Healing does not mean you never get triggered again. I’d be lying to you if I said that it would be rainbows and unicorns forever from this day forward. You wouldn’t believe me if I did say that, at least I hope you wouldn’t. That’s not real, and frankly, why would you want it to be? Growth does not mean you become calm, centered, enlightened, and unbothered every moment of every day. That’s not realistic. We are all still human, for goodness’ sake, aren’t we? You will still have triggers. You will feel fear. You will feel grief. You will get frustrated. You will have moments where you know better and still do the old thing. Welcome to Earth. Welcome to the Human Experience. The goal is not perfection. The goal is awareness, self-compassion, and the ability to return to oneself more quickly. There may be one part of you that wants to expand and another part that wants to hide. One part may feel powerful while another still fears rejection. One part may want freedom while another fears letting go of control. You do not have to exile those parts. You can listen to them without handing them the keys. Wholeness means making room for all of you while allowing your wisest self to lead. 8. Lead from peace Whether you are leading a company, a family, a community, a team, or simply your own life, your internal state enters the room before your words do. People can feel when you are rushed. They can feel when you are reactive. They can feel when you are disconnected, controlling, defensive, or overwhelmed. They can also feel when you are grounded. Peace does not make you weak. Peace makes you clear. It allows you to make difficult decisions without creating unnecessary chaos. It helps you communicate with compassion and accountability. It gives others permission to be honest. It creates trust. Before your next important conversation, ask, "What energy am I bringing into this room?" "Am I trying to control the outcome?" "What would clarity look like?" "What would peace choose?" As we say inside the Internal Peace Renegades community, leadership begins with the way you lead yourself. Success should feel like freedom You do not have to choose between peace and prosperity. You do not have to become less ambitious, less visible, less powerful, or less successful. You may simply need to stop creating from survival. Success without peace can become another prison. It may look beautiful from the outside, but you are still trapped inside pressure, performance, and the fear of losing what you created. Aligned success feels different. It gives you room to breathe. It gives you time to live. It allows you to experience joy now, not someday. It creates space for meaningful work, healthy relationships, clear boundaries, purpose, prosperity, and freedom. You are not here to spend your entire life proving your worth. You are here to live. Start small Choose one thing from this article. Notice one pattern. Take one conscious breath before reacting. Set one honest boundary. Question one fear-based thought. Give yourself permission to rest without earning it. Small shifts create big change when practiced consistently. You do not have to completely dismantle the life you have created. You may simply need to stop abandoning yourself while creating it. Peace is not a destination waiting for you after you finally get everything right. It is a practice. It is a choice. It is a relationship with yourself. It is available now.

Written by Christian Dounis, Psychotherapist | Hypnotherapist | Counsellor As the founder of the Strategic Mindset & Wellness Clinic, Christian supports children, teens, and adults through warm, creative, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches. Many therapists enter this profession because they genuinely care about people. They want to help. To reduce suffering and support people through some of the hardest periods of their lives. Support. To become a safe, steady presence for people who may feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or emotionally alone. Guide. To help clients make sense of patterns, emotions, relationships, and life transitions while moving toward healthier ways of living. Protect. To create emotional safety, advocate for wellbeing, and help vulnerable people feel seen and supported. Heal. To assist people in recovering from trauma, anxiety, grief, emotional pain, and experiences that have deeply impacted them. Understand. To listen beyond behaviours and symptoms and truly understand the emotional experiences underneath them. Make a difference. To contribute meaningfully to the lives of others and feel that their work genuinely matters. For many practitioners, that care is real, deep, and heartfelt. But there is a growing issue quietly occurring across the helping professions: Many therapists are emotionally exhausted from trying to carry too much for too many people. Behind calm therapy rooms and professional presentations, there are counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists, social workers, coaches, and helping professionals silently struggling with emotional overload, compassion fatigue, nervous system exhaustion, blurred boundaries, and burnout. Burnout is increasingly being recognised as more than simply “being tired,” particularly within helping professions. Prolonged emotional demand without recovery can significantly impact wellbeing. Ironically, many therapists who spend their days helping others regulate emotionally are operating with chronically dysregulated nervous systems themselves. The “helper identity” can become dangerous One of the hidden challenges in therapy work is that many therapists unconsciously build part of their identity around being needed. Being the calm one. The person others rely on during emotional chaos, crisis, or distress. The strong one. The one who appears emotionally steady and capable, even when personally overwhelmed. The supportive one. Always available to listen, guide, reassure, and emotionally hold others. The emotionally available one. The person who continually makes space for others’ emotions while suppressing or delaying their own. The one who “holds it together.” Often becoming the emotional anchor for clients, workplaces, family systems, and even friendships. Over time, this identity can quietly become emotionally dangerous. Because therapists can begin feeling responsible not only for supporting clients but for saving them. Saving their relationships. Feeling pressure to prevent breakups, conflict, family dysfunction, or emotional pain within relationships. Saving their mental health. Feeling personally responsible for ensuring clients do not spiral emotionally or psychologically. Saving their future. Worrying excessively about the long-term consequences of clients’ decisions, behaviours, or unresolved issues. Saving them from pain. Trying to remove discomfort too quickly instead of allowing clients to build emotional tolerance and resilience. Saving them from making mistakes. Over-guiding clients in an attempt to protect them from regret, failure, or difficult life lessons. Saving them from discomfort. Feeling compelled to reduce anxiety, sadness, uncertainty, or distress immediately rather than helping clients learn to sit with and manage difficult emotions. While compassion is essential in therapy, over-responsibility is not. The moment a therapist begins believing, “It is my job to rescue everyone,” the risk of emotional exhaustion increases significantly. Therapists often absorb more than they realise Therapy is not simply conversation; it is emotional exposure. Day after day, therapists sit with trauma, grief, anxiety, panic, family conflict, abuse, addiction, self-harm, suicidal ideation, emotional dysregulation, hopelessness, shame, relationship breakdown, and chronic stress. Many therapists absorb far more emotionally than they realise. Some carry clients mentally after sessions, continuing to think about clients’ pain, decisions, safety, or wellbeing long after work has ended. Replaying conversations while driving home. Wondering if they missed something important or could have responded differently. Some overthink whether they “said the right thing,” questioning interventions, wording, timing, or therapeutic choices repeatedly after sessions finish. Particularly after emotionally intense, high-risk, or confronting sessions. Some feel emotionally responsible for client outcomes, believing client progress or lack of progress reflects their personal effectiveness or worth as a therapist, especially when clients are highly distressed or struggling significantly. Others become hypervigilant to clients’ emotional states, constantly monitoring tone, behaviour, mood shifts, emotional risk, or subtle signs of deterioration, leaving the nervous system in prolonged states of alertness throughout the day. Over time, this emotional absorption accumulates, not always dramatically, but gradually, quietly, until therapists begin noticing numbness, irritability, exhaustion, dread before sessions, difficulty switching off, sleep issues, reduced empathy, emotional detachment, loss of motivation, cynicism, overwhelm, and compassion fatigue. Many therapists do not recognise burnout immediately because helping others becomes so normalised that self-neglect starts feeling like “part of the job.” Compassion fatigue is not weakness One of the biggest misconceptions in helping professions is that struggling emotionally somehow means a therapist is not coping professionally. In reality, compassion fatigue is often the result of caring deeply for prolonged periods without enough emotional recovery. Therapists are human nervous systems exposed repeatedly to emotional intensity. Listening to trauma all day affects the body. Holding emotional space continuously requires energy. Remaining calm during crisis creates nervous system load. Many therapists underestimate how much emotional regulation they perform daily, especially those who work with trauma, support high-risk clients, struggle with boundaries, over-identify with clients, are highly empathic, fear disappointing others, feel guilty saying no, or derive self-worth from helping. These therapists are often at higher risk of burnout because their nervous systems rarely fully disengage from “helper mode.” Boundaries are not cold, they are ethical Many therapists fear boundaries because they worry boundaries will make them seem uncaring, unavailable, selfish, detached, or less supportive. But healthy boundaries are not the opposite of compassion. They are what allow compassion to remain sustainable. Without boundaries, therapists slowly begin emotionally leaking energy into every direction. Replying to messages late at night. Feeling unable to disconnect from work because of guilt, anxiety, or responsibility toward clients. Overextending emotionally in sessions. Giving more emotional energy than the nervous system can sustainably maintain over long periods. Thinking about clients constantly. Allowing work to occupy mental and emotional space outside therapy hours without adequate recovery. Skipping breaks. Ignoring the body’s need for rest, hydration, food, movement, and nervous system reset between emotionally demanding sessions. Ignoring their own stress. Minimising personal overwhelm because “other people have it worse.” Taking responsibility for outcomes they cannot fully control. Believing they must prevent all client suffering, setbacks, or difficult life experiences. Eventually, the therapist becomes emotionally depleted. Depleted therapists cannot consistently offer grounded, effective therapeutic presence. Therapists cannot heal clients by abandoning themselves You cannot continually teach emotional regulation while chronically dysregulating yourself. You cannot endlessly encourage self-care while neglecting your own nervous system. You cannot sustainably hold emotional space for everyone while never emotionally decompressing yourself. Yet many unconsciously repeat this pattern, slowly disconnecting from hobbies, relationships, rest, creativity, movement, joy, stillness, and personal identity outside work. Over time, the therapist role can consume the person underneath it. Sustainable therapists understand something important The most sustainable therapists are often not the ones who care the most intensely. They are the ones who learn how to care without emotionally drowning. They understand that they cannot rescue everyone, clients must ultimately do their own work, discomfort is part of growth, progress is rarely linear, not every client will change immediately, they are guides not saviours, and their nervous system matters too. These therapists still care deeply but no longer confuse over-functioning with effectiveness. Supervision should be more than case discussion Good supervision should explore more than interventions and case management. It should also include emotional absorption, therapist reactions, countertransference, burnout risk, nervous system overload, boundary difficulties, emotional triggers, over-responsibility, and therapist identity. Many therapists need permission to acknowledge: “This work affects me too.” Pretending therapists are emotionally unaffected by prolonged exposure to human suffering is unrealistic. Sustainable practice requires intentional recovery Therapists often teach clients about nervous system regulation while forgetting to apply those same principles personally. Sustainable practice requires intentional recovery, not occasional collapse. Recovery may include proper breaks, exercise, supervision, mindfulness, hobbies, therapy, self-care, friendships, laughter, movement, emotional processing, time away from “helper mode,” boundaries around availability, and nervous system regulation practices. Therapists do not need to become emotionally hardened, but they do need to become emotionally sustainable. Therapists deserve support too There is something deeply important therapists need to remember: Being a helping professional does not remove your humanity. You are still a nervous system. Still emotionally impacted by stress, responsibility, emotional exposure, and the realities of life. Still a person. With needs, limits, emotions, relationships, struggles, and moments of exhaustion like everybody else. Still emotionally impacted by life and work. Regardless of qualifications, experience, or professional identity. Therapists who learn to care for themselves effectively are not becoming weaker practitioners. They are often becoming safer, wiser, more grounded, and more sustainable ones. Because the goal is not simply to help people. The goal is to continue helping people without losing yourself in the process. Follow me on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and visit my website for more info!

A recent piece on Brainz on why high-performing leaders burn out even when they love their work names

When experiences are painful, destabilising, or deeply personal, many of us instinctively bury them. What if the experiences we’ve buried could be used, internally, deliberately, ethically, to guide how When we bury parts of ourselves completely, we don’t become stronger, we become narrower.
