EP39 – How to Perform Under Pressure Without Burning Out w/ Angie McGrandles

When Anji McGradles’ husband was diagnosed with a brain tumour — not once, but twice — it triggered a personal transformation that led her deep into the world of mindset, wellness, and neuroscience.

Now a leading workplace wellness strategist, Anji joins me on The 1% Better Recruitment Podcast to share powerful, practical tools to help you thrive under pressure — without sacrificing your mental health.

We explore:

✅ What burnout really looks like (and how to spot it early)
✅ The Red to Blue method used by elite performers like the All Blacks
✅ Neuroscience-backed techniques to manage stress and boost focus
✅ How your Reticular Activating System (RAS) shapes your daily experience
✅ The truth about reframing negative thoughts (and when it doesn’t work)
✅ Sleep, energy, wellness hacks, and even a few float tank mishaps…

Whether you're a high-performing recruiter, business leader, or just someone trying to keep your head above water — this episode will leave you with new tools, a fresh perspective, and that all-important 1% shift.
