Life is a rollercoaster of stress. We juggle the demands of work, family, personal troubles, and the curveballs life throws at us. It's a lot to handle, and sometimes, it gets overwhelming.

Have you ever felt that pressure building up until you're ready to burst? Yeah, I've been there. Those moments of feeling swamped, burnt out, or down in the dumps are all normal responses to life's challenges.

And guess what? You're not alone in this journey. There's a good chance you're battling stress, burnout, or even depression yourself. And maybe, just maybe, you've been keeping it all bottled up, thinking nobody gets what you're going through.

Well, I get it. We all have our moments. But here's the deal, you don't have to face it all alone.

Today's episode is a deep dive into the ocean of mental health. We're tackling stress, chronic stress, burnout, and depression. No holding back, no sugar-coating.
Mental health is a massive deal. So, let's break it down. I'm laying out the definitions for these heavy hitters, showing you how to spot them, and, most importantly, revealing the strategies to get you back in the driver's seat.

Remember, it's okay not to be okay. And it's even more okay to seek the guidance you need. Tune in, and let's dig into the nitty-gritty of taking care of your mental well-being.
Trust me, it's a ride worth embarking on.

“The stress that we have is chronic, right? Work pressures or financial worries, right? Relationships, whether it’s with our wives or with friends or what have you. And our bodies will still react the exact same way as if it was a physiological response to a tiger attacking us.”
—Funk Roberts
