Why do some stressors make us stronger, while others break us down? How can we train ourselves to return to center when life throws us off course? And what is the ultimate determinant of health and happiness?

In this powerful episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with my dear friend Jeff Krasno — co-founder of Commune and Wanderlust, host of the Commune Podcast, and author of the upcoming book, "Good Stress: The Benefits of Doing Hard Things."

Jeff unpacks the science of resilience, exploring how intentional stressors — like cold plunges, fasting, and difficult conversations — not only strengthen the body but also sharpen the mind and enhance emotional intelligence. He shares how his own journey of self-discovery led him to recognize his lifelong mission of bringing people together in deep, meaningful connection - and reframing how we can use challenges for our own good.

Through personal stories, cutting-edge research, and wisdom gathered from some of the world’s greatest minds, Jeff reveals the hidden power of community, the physiological magic of discomfort, and the tools we can all use to find balance in a chaotic world. Together, we explore how small but powerful changes can shift the way we approach stress, connection, and our own potential.

Listen in and discover tools to help build resilience, embrace challenges, and create true ease in your life.
