I don’t think I’ve interacted with a single woman who isn’t experiencing stress at an uncomfortable and unhealthy level. I’ve become so used to being stressed that I’m not sure I even recognize it anymore. I need my Oura Ring to point it out for me, and I have taken HeyFreya’s stress test to get more insight into how my body is managing, or not managing my stress.

I don’t think you or I were meant to live with this much stress!

I’m joined by Dr. Rebecca Heiss, a stress physiologist who is dedicated to helping us overcome our instinctual limitations, so we can live with less stress and more happiness. Her research has been designated “transformative” by the National Science Foundation and it is waking up audiences around the world. As an author of the acclaimed book “Instinct” and a highly sought-after professional speaker, Rebecca has found her calling in helping others recognize the power of biological applications in their lives. Rebecca’s “fear(less)” message inspires hope and actionable insights to train our brains to work for us, rather than against us in times of change and uncertainty.

Fear less. Not fearless. De-stress. Not distress. How about that?
