Dr. Samantha Brody is a licensed naturopathic physician and acupuncturist and the owner and founder of Evergreen Natural Health Center in Portland, Oregon. She’s also the author of the soon to be released book Overcoming Overwhelm: Dismantle Your Stress from the Inside Out.

We talked about...

• How to align your self-care choices with your values (and how to figure out what your values are in the first place!)
• Why Dr. Samantha thinks stress is different from overwhelm, and how they’re related
• How reexamining what we do and do not have control over in our lives sometimes produces surprising (and freeing) results
• Dr. Samantha’s tips for navigating the overwhelm of the holiday season (so you can feel the way you want to feel, and make space for what really matters)
