Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Resilient Humans, Kevin explores the idea that emotions — especially anxiety — are contagious. Drawing parallels from the animal kingdom, he explains how our nervous systems are wired to pick up on the energy of those around us, often without us even realizing it.Kevin breaks down the concept of emotional contagion and why it's crucial to be intentional about the environments we choose — especially in places like the gym. He highlights how a strong, grounded community can either fuel our resilience or slowly chip away at it. Using examples from the CrossFit Moncton community, he shows how support, calm, and confidence are just as contagious as stress and self-doubt.If you’ve ever felt affected by the mood of a room — or wondered how to build resilience one rep at a time — this episode is for you.As always, please like, share, and subscribe. If you would like some help, please reach out!
