Break Room Buddies

The Stress Test (Ep: 38)


Listen Later

How do you know if you’re actually okay… or just pushing through in survival mode?

In this first episode of 2026, Danni shares four gentle, everyday “personal stress tests” she’s been noticing in her own life — from grocery store lines to to-do lists to tiny, annoying tasks we all try to rush through.

This isn’t medical advice or a self-help lecture. It’s a warm, honest, lighthearted conversation about how stress shows up in ordinary moments — and how you can start noticing when you’re regulated versus when everything feels like it’s on fire.

You’ll hear about:

  • The Grocery Line Test: can you pick a line and stay in it?

  • The Deadline Test: are your deadlines real or self-made?

  • The Tiny Task Test: how do you treat the small, unglamorous things?

  • The Interruption Test: do disruptions feel like detours… or attacks?
