#217: Feeling stressed out, overwhelmed, or like one more email might push you over the edge? In today’s solo, Josie takes a science-backed approach to stress that goes way beyond bubble baths and affirmations. You’ll learn what stress really is on a neurological and physiological level, why your brain can’t tell the difference between a tiger in the wild and a Slack message from your boss, and how your body gets stuck in “survival mode.” Josie breaks down the evolutionary purpose of stress, the concept of your stress threshold, and why things like traffic, a busy schedule, or conflict with your partner can feel like life-or-death. Most importantly, you’ll walk away with tangible, evidence-based tools to complete the stress cycle, raise your stress threshold, and train your brain and body to feel safe, even when life feels chaotic.
