 Written by [Andy Stanley](https://andystanley.com/podcast/author/andy-stanley) | August 11, 2025

The right kind of stress can improve your physical health, sharpen your mental clarity, and boost your leadership effectiveness. In this REVERB episode, Andy Stanley and co-host Suzy Gray dive deeper into last week’s compelling conversation with Dr. Sharon Bergquist, author of *The Stress Paradox*. They discuss why leaders can’t afford to neglect their health, how the law of the harvest shapes your long-term impact, and what it means to lead well by starting with your own body and mind.
