Stress is a natural part of life, but staying in a constant state of stress? That’s a recipe for burnout. In this episode, I share a powerful lesson I learned after dealing with disappointment and seeking advice from my coach. She introduced me to the concept of the stress cycle (from the book Burnout by Amelia and Emily Nagoski) and how important it is to complete it—otherwise, your body holds onto stress in unhealthy ways.

If you’ve been feeling weighed down, this episode will help you process those emotions and let them go so you can show up as your best self.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Feel your feelings – Don’t suppress them. Acknowledging emotions is the first step to moving through stress.
  2. Complete the stress cycle – Your body needs an action to signal that stress is over (e.g., exercise, laughter, crying, deep breathing).
  3. Community and connection help – Hugs, conversations, and support from loved ones signal to your brain that you’re safe and okay.
