Description

In this Mini Motivation Episode host Amelia Phillips and neuroscientist Paul Taylor talk about stress, and how to tell the difference between healthy and unhealthy stress. Amelia also gives her take on whether the stress of a prolonged overnight fast is healthy or harmful for women.  They unpack the surprising science behind good stress, known as hormesis, and what activities these include. From mum-life overwhelm to 3 am worry spirals, learn how to spot the difference between stress that builds you up and stress that burns you out.
