Stress is often seen as a mental or emotional issue, but its effects go far beyond just how we feel. When stress becomes chronic, it can impact nearly every part of the body, from the digestive system to heart health and even skin conditions. Over time, elevated stress levels can lead to physical ailments like headaches, muscle tension, and weakened immunity, leaving us more susceptible to illness. It can also contribute to serious long-term issues like heart disease, weight gain, sleep disorders, and hormonal imbalances.

This episode breaks down the many ways stress manifests physically, emotionally, and behaviorally. You'll learn about the hidden consequences of stress that we often overlook and discover practical strategies for reducing its impact. Whether it’s through mindfulness, better nutrition, or creating healthier boundaries, stress management is key to protecting both your mental and physical health. Understanding the holistic nature of stress is the first step toward long-term well-being.

With autumn in full swing, I’m taking this moment to reflect on how the season naturally encourages us to slow down. There’s something about the crisp air and falling leaves that makes me pause and think about the past year—what I’ve learned, what I’m ready to let go of, and what I want to carry forward. It feels like the perfect time to breathe, reflect, and make space for some inner peace.

In this episode, I’ll share why autumn always makes me feel like it’s okay to step back from the busyness and focus on the present. By slowing down, we can actually connect more deeply with what’s important in our lives. Whether it’s journaling, sipping tea, or simply enjoying a quiet walk, I’ve found that autumn provides the perfect backdrop to reset and recharge.

So join me as we dive into how this season of transition can help us embrace change and find balance in our everyday lives. Whether you’re reflecting on your own journey or just looking to enjoy the coziness that comes with fall, this episode is all about leaning into the warmth and wisdom that autumn brings.

In this episode, I get real about a recent experience at work where I hit what seemed like an insurmountable wall. On the surface, it felt like failure. But instead of seeing it as a defeat, I’ve come to realize it’s just another lesson on the journey to growth. We often label our challenges as failures when, in reality, they are stepping stones that push us to learn, adapt, and evolve.

Join me as I dive into the importance of reframing our mindset around setbacks and why it’s crucial to prioritize being in environments that nurture both personal and professional growth. I’ll share insights on how surrounding yourself with supportive people and fostering a growth-oriented atmosphere can turn what might feel like a dead end into an opportunity for development.

Whether you’re facing a tough situation at work or in your personal life, this episode is a reminder that failure is not a thing—it’s just growth in disguise. Tune in to reframe your setbacks, embrace the lessons they offer, and keep moving forward on your growth journey.

today's episode is more of deload. i've been facing severe burnout recently, taking on too many side jobs and tasks, and falling (almost) flat on my face. trust me, it's not been fun. so, i'm stripping it back to the essentials: focusing purely on work (my actual, employed 9-5 job) and self-care. everything else can wait. sure i have clients in my new social media business 'Social Media By El' (www.socialmediabyel.com) (www.instagram.com/socialmediabyel), but they can wait! i'm focusing on myself and you should too <3

please remember to rate, review and share this podcast! have a fabulous bank holiday and I'll speak to y'all soon!!!
