Ask any pharmacist or pharmacy student what their number one complaint is, and regardless of their age or expertise, there is an overwhelming agreement that it boils down to one thing: STRESS!

While stress is a normal part of everyday life, left unchecked and unmanaged, it can lead to crippling anxiety, burn-out, and even a career change away from pharmacy.

Learning HOW to have a healthy relationship with stress is the KEY to not only job satisfaction, but longevity as a successful pharmacist that is why I am so excited for this week’s episode where we will share HOW to stress-Proof Your Brain in Life, Work, and Relationships with literally the expert who wrote the book, Dr. Melanie Greenberg, PhD.

Dr. Greenberg is a psychologist, as well as a fellow author and speaker, having published The Stress-Proof Brain in 2017. In the book, Dr. Greenberg explains that the key to coping with stress is in HOW we respond to the situations and things that stress or threaten to overwhelm us. The Stress-Proof Brain offers powerful, comprehensive tools based in mindfulness, neuroscience, and positive psychology to help you put a stop to unhealthy responses to stress, empowering you in mastering your emotional responses, overcoming negative thinking, and creating a more stress-tolerant brain.
