31. Stress, Screaming, and Sandwiches

🎙️ Hot Flash Chronicles – Episode: Stress, Screaming, and Sandwiches 😵‍💫🥪 Life is a lot. Sometimes you cry in the shower. Sometimes you scream in your car. Sometimes you just need a grinder and a good friend.

This week, Angie and Shelly are unpacking stress—what it looks like, how it shows up, and what we actually do about it. From major life transitions (hello, roommate life) to TikTok trolls, panic attacks, and pool setups, this episode is a hilarious and honest deep dive into the ways we carry stress... and how we let it go.

🧠 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

📦 Moving Mayhem – Six dogs, two couples, one house. What could go wrong?

💬 Stress in Real Time – How different personalities handle pressure (and why logistics can break your brain).

💻 Troll Patrol – When social media trolls strike, Angie and Shelly hit back with humor and perspective.

💥 Dumping the Bucket – Panic attacks, cortisol, and all the ways we literally release tension. (Crying, dancing, screaming, coloring—yep, all of it counts.)

🐶 Dog Therapy is Real – Petting a dog can lower your blood pressure and raise your serotonin. Chevy the blueberry muffin is proof.

🎨 Coloring Books, Coffee, and Adult Friendships – Why healing can sometimes look like swearing while coloring inside the lines and laughing your face off with people who get you.
