One. More. Thing. One more thing and you may just lose your god-damned mind. If one more person asks something of you… If one more task gets added to your to-do list… You may just Lose. Your. Shit.

We've all been in this crazy-ass-stressed-the-fuck-out place where we become, uh-hem, a little less than the best version of ourselves. We scream at our kids when they need something minimal. We lash out at our spouse, or friend, or co-worker when they are just trying to help. In essence, we become somewhat addicted to being super stressed out and overwhelmed.

Here's the unique thing about navigating modern stressors… When our primitive ancestors were dealing with some kind of threat, let's say a lion, they would have a sharp spike of stress, handle the stressful situation (escape the lion) and then easily be able to access a calm, tranquil space. Essentially, they were able to complete the entire stress response cycle. But now we are in many stressful situations that simply don't stop. #rememberCovid Whether it be traffic, dealing with a high-demand job, feeling threatened in your interpersonal relationships, or being stressed out about the state of the world, it's highly likely that you've been existing in your sympathetic nervous system which our bodies respond to like we're constantly running from lions. It's basically really, really fucking detrimental to our nervous systems.

If this sounds like I have a hidden camera installed in your place, you need to have a listen to this week's pod. BTW, no camera (#creepy)… I've just been in this place far too many times to count. And in this episode, I discuss what spikes our fear/stress response and share a slew of simple things you can do to let go of the fear, stress, and mortal combat that may be driving you to the brink of insanity. Say hello to some serious peace, tranquility, and happy dances.

This pod explores:

Understanding how our fear is simply trying to keep us safe (even though it's a shitty communicator)
10+ easy ways to immediately relieve your stress
My P.O.D. method for navigating extreme fear, overwhelm, and stress
How to start asking for help… even if you really hate asking for help. And how that can be a fierce act of feminism.
