Lolita Guarin doesn’t call herself a stress management expert because she's studied it. She calls herself one because she's lived it. 

We talk about:

• the patterns we carry from childhood and how they shape our reactions,
• the signals our bodies send when we've reached a limit,
• and how self-compassion starts with a single decision to pause and notice.

Hear how Lolita turned her own story into a message for others.
