As parents, we are no strangers to stress. From the late nights with infants to the challenges of adolescence, we feel it. But we know better than to let it affect us too much. After all, stress is bad. It wreaks havoc on our bodies and can even cause us to lash out at loved ones. But what if I told you stress can be good?
This time we’re joined by The Stress Test author Ian Robertson who explains how stress can benefit us. I know, it sounds crazy but the science shows stress can actually make us sharper and stronger. Plus we learn how three little words can change our brain from feeling anxious to being excited. Don’t miss this one!
