ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The Practice Podcast welcomes negotiation and dispute resolution expert Mori Taheripour, a Wharton faculty member and author of Bring Yourself, to explore burnout as a signal and the idea that the most important negotiation is with yourself. Mori reframes negotiation as life—shaped by presence, authenticity, self-worth, and values—and explains how performance, depletion, and distraction undermine decision-making and connection. Mori and Jessica discuss integrating logical data with somatic intuition, the role of embodiment in high-pressure leadership, and how men and women navigate conditioning around vulnerability. Mori shares her experience living with MS, the importance of honoring body signals, and using energy work and boundaries to clear blocks. The episode also highlights their upcoming “Stress and Energy Reset” retreat at Canyon Ranch (June 4–7) combining wellness expertise, SORCE’s framework, and Mori’s “negotiating your energy.”
