Stress is our body's natural reaction to change, and it occurs regularly in our daily lives. Additionally, while typical stress triggers an instinctive reaction from our bodies and minds, micro-stresses, also known as low level stress, are not even perceived by either.
These small individual stressors, such as constant meetings, deadline pressures, and the challenge of balancing work and life—may not seem overwhelming on their own. But, what you don’t know CAN hurt you! Join hosts Nola Boea and Lori Vajda as they teach you how to “tune in” to these subtle stressors so you can regain control of your well-being and improve your professional performance.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn
- The surprising impact of 'micro-stresses' that go unnoticed
- Why low level stressors undermine your wellbeing
- Discover how those tiny 'micro-stresses' can add up and what you can do to reduce, minimize, even eliminate them
Key points Lori and Nola are sharing in this episode:
(01:59:05) Why you need to be aware of the microstresses that affect you on an individual level
(03:08:21) When we're unaware of our low level stressors, we're not able to identify why we feel the way we do or use the same stress management tools that we would for high levels of stress
(05:09:30) Awareness is the first step because, without awareness, you can't take action
(07:57:07) This is one way to identify the typical microstressors that have the greatest impact on you
(13:41:30) Focus on the what, who, and when microstressors appear so you know where and how in your body you experience them both physically and mentally

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
