If you’ve been telling yourself “I’m just stressed, everyone is,” this episode is your wake-up call (and permission slip) to stop pretending that makes it okay.
We’ve normalized being stressed out like it’s some rite of passage into adulthood. But when does everyday stress cross the line into something that’s quietly wrecking your health?
In this episode, we’re breaking down the difference between acute and chronic stress, why it matters, what it’s doing to your body, and how to stop ignoring the signals your nervous system is screaming at you.
We’ll walk through:
- The three types of stress: eustress, acute, and chronic
- How stress hijacks your body, even when it’s “just” your inbox
- Why “just relax” is the most unhelpful advice ever
- Two easy days from my 7-Day Stress Reset Checklist to help you feel human again (no sage-burning or cold plunges required)
You’ll also get herbal tips, grounding tools, and mindset shifts that don’t require overhauling your life, just reconnecting with your body.
🎧 Listen now and learn why your stress is valid and how to start responding to it instead of powering through it.
