    Ep 2: Why Discipline Fails Under Stress

    We’re often told that if we were more disciplined, we’d be more consistent. But what if discipline isn’t the real issue? In this episode of The Resilient Mind™, we explore what actually happens inside the brain and nervous system when stress rises—and why pushing harder can quietly backfire. When pressure is high, executive functioning takes a back seat and survival systems step in. And when that shift happens, discipline doesn’t disappear—it gets overridden. This conversation reframes stress not as a personal failure, but as a misalignment in leadership roles within the system. If you’ve ever thought, “I know what I need to do — I just can’t do it,” this episode will offer a new way to understand what’s really happening. Because it may not be that you need to do more. It may be about allowing leadership to come back online.

    Ep 1: Competence Is Not the Same as Capacity

    In this opening episode of The Resilient Mind, Ofelia Chapa explores a foundational distinction that often goes unnoticed in conversations about burnout, anxiety, and resilience: competence is not the same as capacity. Many high-functioning individuals are skilled, insightful, and capable—yet feel exhausted, anxious, or disconnected beneath the surface. This episode unpacks why pushing through eventually stops working, how nervous system capacity differs from ability or effort, and why burnout is often a physiological signal rather than a personal failure. This conversation introduces a more accurate framework for understanding resilience—one grounded in regulation, load tolerance, and recovery rather than self-blame or over-effort. This episode is for professionals, caregivers, leaders, and anyone who knows what to do but still feels overwhelmed, depleted, or stuck.

    Intro: The Resilient Mind

    The Resilient Mind is a psychology-grounded podcast from Intellectual Healing™ exploring what it actually means to heal, grow, and live with clarity in a complex world. Hosted by Ofelia Chapa, M.S., NCC-LPC, LCDC, licensed therapist and founder of Intellectual Healing™, the podcast explores the inner mechanics of human experience—how the mind works, how the nervous system responds, how identity forms, and how healing integrates over time. Episodes span topics including anxiety and social confidence, high-functioning stress and burnout, recovery and staying sober, trauma and PTSD education, emotional regulation, resilience, identity shifts, and the intersection of psychology and spirituality—grounded, not performative. This podcast is for thoughtful, capable individuals who understand themselves intellectually, yet still feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted beneath the surface. The Resilient Mind offers clinically informed insight, real-world patterns, and practical frameworks that support regulation, clarity, and sustainable inner stability. The first episode is coming soon.
