Podcast:

About this episode

Are you successful on the outside but feel a quiet pressure inside? In this episode of How to Be Happier for Entrepreneurs, Yvonne Trost, Chief Happiness Officer at LimitlessYou, explores the hidden forces that keep high achievers stuck in a cycle of stress, restlessness, and self-doubt.

You’ll learn:

How pressure became your default operating system and why it feels unavoidable

The subtle signs you’re living from fear rather than alignment

Why repetition shapes identity—and how you can retrain your nervous system

The critical mind–body connection most entrepreneurs overlook

How to access inner safety and self-regard without sacrificing ambition

This episode isn’t about doing more or “fixing” yourself—it’s about understanding your patterns, easing tension, and remembering that you are enough just as you are.

Take a moment, breathe, and discover how pressure is learned—and how safety and ease can be relearned.

Listen now and start shifting from urgency to inner calm and confidence.
