On this episode, Dr. Bybee discusses her process for navigating the inevitable stresses of daily life, active stress management, which she has been refining since she first experienced burnout 8 years ago.

Instead of being one more thing to add to your to-do list, this practice consists of strategies to incorporate into your day in order to feel less stressed and less overwhelmed.

If you're feeling overwhelmed and looking for a place to start, tune into this episode to learn about:

  • the stress continuum
  • the power of one degree turns
  • how to turn down the volume on your stress response
