Most high performers were never taught how they respond when life turns up the heat. They just react and spend years managing the aftermath. The Tension Lab is a podcast for professionals ready to understand what's running underneath their performance, relationships, and health when pressure builds and demands collide. Each episode explores the patterns, signals, and costs of unmanaged tension delivering practical tools for building the self-awareness and regulation skills that high achievement never required you to develop. Until now. Hosted by Rudy Swigart — author, speaker, certified coach and creator of the Under Tension Assessment, The Tension Lab goes where most leadership content won't. Into the real cost of performing at a high level without a plan for what it takes out of you. This is not a burnout recovery podcast. It's a burnout prevention conversation for people who still have enough in the tank to do something about it. Under Tension. Know your pattern. Protect what matters.
