The Cost of Carrying Everything: Nervous System Stress, Leadership Pressure, and Identity in Indigenous Students
The Cost of Carrying Everything: Nervous System Stress, Leadership
Pressure, and Identity is a conversation for anyone who feels caught
between responsibility, purpose, and the pressure to keep going even
when exhausted. This session explores the impact of chronic stress,
survival mode, and carrying the weight of family, leadership, education,
and community expectations while offering practical tools,
encouragement, and hope for moving forward without losing yourself in
the process.
