In a thought-provoking episode of The Ownership Game podcast, host Gary Montalvo sat down with mindset expert Zahra Karsan to explore strategies for breaking free from stress and overwhelm.

Podcast Highlights

  • The Cost of Success Without Balance | Zahra’s personal journey is one that resonates deeply with ambitious professionals. She candidly shares how she climbed the corporate ladder only to face crippling exhaustion and overwhelm. Despite having “checked all the boxes” for success, she found herself unfulfilled and on the verge of burnout. This realization led Zahra to redefine success—prioritizing well-being over relentless productivity—and inspired her mission to help others achieve balance while thriving.
  • Understanding the Nervous System Overload | Zahra illuminates the effects of modern life on our nervous systems. Between constant notifications, societal pressures, and digital distractions, most of us are stuck in a perpetual state of fight-or-flight. Zahra explained how this chronic activation drains our energy and affects mental clarity. She introduced a powerful yet underutilized resource: the calm response, a natural “muscle” we can strengthen to restore balance and focus.
    • The Power of Mindset Shifts | At the core of Zahra’s R.E.W.I.R.E. Mindset System™ is the principle of retraining the mind and body to shift out of stress and into a state of calm and clarity. By prioritizing mindfulness and joy, Zahra transformed her own life—and helps others do the same. Small but meaningful practices, like deep breathing, grounding, and positive visualization, empower individuals to break free from the cycle of exhaustion and embrace a more fulfilling, peaceful path to success.
  • Practical Tips for Reducing Stress and Anxiety | Zahra shares actionable advice for recognizing burnout and reclaiming your energy. Her tips include:
  • Mindful Breathing: Take a few deep breaths throughout the day to reset your nervous system.
  • Nature Breaks: Step outside, even for a few moments, to reconnect with the natural world.

Joyful Activities: Dedicate time to hobbies or moments that spark genuine happiness.

These simple but effective habits help reduce stress, boost productivity, and foster a deeper sense of well-being.
