What if the very thing you’ve been avoiding—stress—is actually the key to your healthiest, most vibrant life?

In this eye-opening episode of Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors, I sit down with Dr. Sharon Bergquist, physician, research scientist, and founder of Emory Lifestyle Medicine & Wellness. Dr. Sharon reveals a powerful reframe: that certain kinds of stress—when used in microdoses—can actually help you live longer, feel better, and thrive in your everyday life.

We dive into: 

🔥 Why you don’t need a cold plunge to get the benefits of hot/cold therapy
🔥 The five stressors your body needs to function at its best
🔥 How syncing your sleep and eating habits can transform your energy
🔥 Why women especially must rethink their relationship with aging
🔥 The mindset shift that’s more powerful than any workout or diet

This episode is a must-listen for any high-achiever who’s tired of burnout culture and ready for a sustainable, science-backed path to feeling amazing. Let’s ditch the all-or-nothing thinking, sprinkle in some stress, and grow into the strongest version of ourselves.

🎧 Hit play now to learn how small, intentional discomforts can unlock your full potential.
