Soulful Practices Podcast

Liberating our Reaction to Stress

Listen Later

Welcome to Episode 18 of the Soulful Practices Podcast!


This week, Michelle explores how to transform our relationship with stress and respond from a place of empowerment and alignment with our Heart and Soul. As Hans Selye, the founder of Stress Theory, profoundly stated:


“It’s not stress that kills us, it’s our reaction to it.”


In this episode, Michelle shares:

  • Setting the Intention: Cultivate curiosity about your habitual responses to stress and requests, aiming to shift your reactions towards a more mindful and compassionate approach.
  • Reflective Practices: Identify and address areas where you might be bracing against stressors, and explore alternative ways to engage with these moments with curiosity and awareness.
  • Guided Awareness: Learn to meet stress with greater love and compassion, honoring your innate worth and addressing the parts of you that are scared or upset.


    • Join the conversation, share your thoughts, and connect with us on our social channels to explore ideas, tips, and practices that resonate with you. We look forward to supporting you on your journey to holistic healing and spiritual growth.
