Is stress every good? You might be surprised. In this episode, psychologist Traco Stein dives deep into the science and psychology of stress — and why not all stress is bad. Traci introduces the concept of eustress (good stress) and explains how the right amount of stress can actually sharpen focus, boost motivation, and help you achieve your goals.

She walks through 10+ practical, evidence-based tips to shift from paralyzing, overwhelming stress to the kind that gets you activated and moving forward — including breathwork, stress inoculation, mental visualization, self-compassion, exercise, and more.

Whether you're dreading an exam, a presentation, a big deadline, or just feeling frazzled by the demands of daily life, this episode gives you tangible tools to work with your stress rather than against it.
