What’s one thing that’s been stressing you out lately?

Have you noticed any physical signs of stress in your body?

She shares why embracing these emotions, rather than avoiding them, is key to healing. Jay also reflects on his own journey of overcoming anxiety and the mindset shifts that foster growth and resilience.
