In this episode of What’s Possible: In the Moment, Ilene Schaffer is joined by Stella Grizont for the final conversation in our mini-series, Inside the Coach Toolbox.

Throughout this series, Ilene has been asking SVChange coaches to share the real practices they turn to when life feels stressful, overwhelming, or ungrounded. Stella’s answer is both simple and profound: walks in the woods, paired with a conversation with something larger than herself.

Together, Ilene and Stella connect Stella’s practice to research on awe, positive emotions, and the ways perceived support can literally change how we experience stress.

This episode is a gentle but powerful reminder that calm doesn’t always come from control. Sometimes it comes from stepping outside, looking up, and remembering that we are part of something bigger.
