How are your stress levels, friend? Chances are, like us, you’re facing significant stresses in your midlife. We know stress is a huge piece of the wellness puzzle, so what do we do if stress is coming hard and fast and there’s not a lot we can do about it?
Welcome to this episode of Midlife Unfiltered - a podcast about unapologetically embracing the Season of Me.
In this episode, join co hosts Anita McLachlan and Erica Webb as they chat about stress and your nervous system.
You will hear:
- Why, when your doctor tells you to reduce stress, it might not be exactly what you think.
- The difference between a stressor and the experience of stress.
- Simple practices that can make a huge difference to your experiences (without relying on your stressors disappearing into the abyss).
- The role of self-compassion in navigating stress.
- And so much more.
We’re so glad you’re here. It’s time to live life on your terms. It’s time for Midlife Unfiltered.
