In this episode of Within, Nicky Wallace and Allie Sartain dive into a topic that impacts everyone—but is often misunderstood: stress.

From fast-paced careers to everyday life demands, stress can become so normalized that we stop recognizing the signals our bodies are sending us. Nicky and Allie share personal experiences of living in a constant state of “go,” and how that chronic stress began to show up physically—through posture, pain, and overall health challenges.

The conversation explores how the body processes stress, why it doesn’t distinguish between everyday pressures and real danger, and how that can lead to long-term effects when left unaddressed. They also unpack the connection between stress, posture, fascia, and movement—and how small, intentional changes can begin to shift how your body responds.

This episode is a reminder that your body is always communicating with you—and learning to listen may be one of the most important steps in your wellbeing journey.
