There’s a powerful connection between our beliefs and stress hormones, particularly during midlife. Unconscious beliefs, often formed in childhood, can trigger stress responses like fight or flight, leading to heightened cortisol levels. Then elevated cortisol impacts our health.
The episode discusses the impact of chronic stress on your body and emotional health, especially as hormonal shifts occur during midlife. You'll learn practical tools like mindfulness, breathwork, and journaling to uncover limiting beliefs and shift them for greater emotional balance and well-being. Learn simple actionable steps to reduce stress and improve overall wellness.
