Is stress taking over all aspects of your life?

On this week's show, we go beyond the conventional ideas of stress management and explore how to elevate consciousness and up-level your being. From personal experience, I share tips on mastering techniques that allow you to better understand - rather than just merely manage - stress in a way that honors what works best for you!

• Stress is simply fear in disguise, created by our brains as a self-defense mechanism in situations that cannot be responded to directly.  • Fear is an emotion experienced when the brain senses danger, releasing hormones like adrenaline and cortisol which help us respond quickly and efficiently to the situation.  • Too much fear can be paralyzing, however, understanding its source helps us take action despite it instead of letting it hold us back from goals.  • Taking time for self-care activities such as exercise and meditation can reduce stress levels while also fostering resilience.
