Welcome back to another episode of the Tomorrow’s Leader podcast! Today, host John Laurito shares a fun story about a beer-holding contest that becomes a great lesson on stress and emotional weight. Just like holding a beer mug feels heavier over time, holding on to stress, anger, or anxiety takes a bigger toll the longer we carry it. Drawing from personal experience, including overcoming panic attacks and anxiety, John offers four practical ways to handle stress. These tips are easy to try and can help you feel more in control of your life. From shifting your mindset to focusing on what you can control, these strategies are designed to reduce stress and boost happiness.
