Ep. 59- Working With Stress

Can stress actually be your body's way of telling you that everything is functioning as it should? In this episode, we explore the stress cycle and the dire consequences of burnout. By recognizing the natural on-and-off pattern of stress and allowing time for recuperation, we can protect ourselves from severe health issues like high blood pressure, heart disease, and anxiety. Parenting presents its own unique set of stressors, often making the idea of a perfectly calm household seem like a distant dream. But, there's hope. We delve into practical strategies for managing stress within parenting roles, emphasizing the importance of accepting unavoidable stressors, setting boundaries, and aligning expectations with reality. Listen in and equip yourself with the tools to better manage stress for you and your family.
