Before the holidays sweep you into full calendars, family dynamics, and year-end deadlines, fall offers a rare chance to pause and reset. What if you could use this season to strengthen your resilience now, before the holiday bustle?

In this episode, host Elizabeth Mintun shares why stress isn’t the enemy (it’s a signal), how resilience really works, and why now - before the holiday hustle - is the best time to put grounding practices into place. 

Elizabeth offers a personal story of how stress showed up in her everyday life. She also explores  the most common stress patterns we all fall into and simple tools you can start practicing today to build resilience that lasts.

Key Takeaways

• Stress is a signal, not the enemy. When we learn to read it with curiosity instead of fighting it, we respond with more clarity and compassion.
• Resilience is like bamboo. Resilience is rooted yet flexible; it’s not about perfection or pushing through, but adapting with steadiness.
• Fall is the perfect practice ground. The tools you build now will become built-in reflexes for calm during the holiday rush.
