In this episode of The Calm Collective, Ashlee and Colleen have a real and relatable conversation about stress—what triggers it, how it shows up, and the tools we lean on when life feels like a lot.

We normalize the reality that stress is ongoing—it’s not about eliminating it, but learning how to recognize it sooner and support ourselves through it with more intention and compassion.

We each share our go-to tools and practices—from breathwork and movement to journaling and mindset shifts—and offer simple ways you can start using these strategies in your own life.

What You’ll Learn:
- Common causes of stress
- Breathwork as a nervous system reset

This episode is your reminder that it’s okay to feel overwhelmed—but you don’t have to stay there. You have tools. You have support. And you can move through it with more ease.
