In this week’s episode, Jahmaal explores how the flight response can hide behind busyness, perfectionism, and the constant drive to achieve. He looks at where the pattern can begin, why it can lead to burnout, and how to start breaking the cycle by noticing what you’re avoiding, practicing stillness, and facing the beliefs underneath the urge to keep moving.

Being busy can look like ambition, but sometimes it’s a way to avoid what we don’t want to feel.
In this week’s episode of Listen Then Speak, Jahmaal explores the flight response in high performers. It can show up as overwork, perfectionism, constant planning, or always moving on to the next goal. Jahmaal looks at how these patterns can take shape, how they may show up differently for men and women, and why staying busy doesn’t always bring the rest we’re looking for.
