In this personal episode, I share my journey of transforming how stress shows up in my life. After noticing that my Oura Ring flagged every. single. day as a "stress day," I experienced a big wake up call  that led me to break free from the constant cycle of hurry and productivity. As someone who has always been high-achieving and perpetually busy, I realized that the key to true calm wasn’t about having less on my plate, but about rethinking my reaction to life's demands.

I dive into the moment I decided to take two full weeks off from the gym and adopt a more mindful approach to living. Drawing inspiration from the book The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, I explore actionable stress management techniques, mindfulness practices, and the art of truly relaxing—beyond the need to constantly “do.” Whether you’re struggling with chronic stress, battling a Type A lifestyle, or simply searching for ways to enhance your mental health and well-being, this episode offers practical insights for resetting your stress response.

Tune in to learn how to rewire your relationship with stress, embrace mindful living, and discover the transformative power of slowing down. Join me on this journey toward a calmer, more intentional life—because sometimes the most productive thing you can do is take a break.
