Today's episode of The Brain Coach podcast, Mary discusses the differences between stress and anxiety; how they overlap, how they differ, and why it’s important to know the distinctions. While stress is a response to an external trigger that typically fades when the situation resolves, anxiety is often persistent, internal, and doesn't always have a clear cause.
The episode also explores the concept of "eustress" (good stress) versus "distress" (bad stress) and how the right amount of pressure can motivate rather than overwhelm.
Tune in for the first of a 2-part conversation that provides actionable tools for navigating stress and anxiety in everyday life.
