In this episode, we dive deep into the growing obsession with stress management and the overwhelming pressure society places on "reducing stress." We explore how wellness professionals, social media, and even doctors can often make us feel like stress is something to eradicate completely, leading to confusion, guilt, and shame. Is stress really something we need to eliminate, or is it simply a natural part of life that we need to learn how to interact with in healthier ways?
Join me as I unpack the all-or-nothing mentality surrounding stress, the anxiety caused by endless wellness trends, and how we can start to reclaim our power over our bodies and minds without falling into the stress-reduction rabbit hole. I’ll share my own experiences with stress and offer practical advice, like connecting with your body, listening to your needs, and gently learning how to manage stress rather than trying to fight it.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to be "stress-free" or questioned whether you're doing enough to combat stress, this episode is for you. Let’s break the cycle of stress shame together and approach it in a way that feels real and empowering. Tune in and share your thoughts with me – you’re not alone in this!
