Leah and Deveter are back for season 3 of Let's Chat! What better way to get the conversation started than with a discussion on Stress and Anxiety!According to American Psychological Association -There’s a fine line between stress and anxiety. Both are emotional responses, but stress is typically caused by an external trigger. The trigger can be short-term, such as a work deadline or a fight with a loved one or long-term, such as being unable to work, discrimination, or chronic illness. People under stress experience mental and physical symptoms, such as irritability, anger, fatigue, muscle pain, digestive troubles, and difficulty sleeping.Anxiety, on the other hand, is defined by persistent, excessive worries that don’t go away even in the absence of a stressor. Anxiety leads to a nearly identical set of symptoms as stress: insomnia, difficulty concentrating, fatigue, muscle tension, and irritability. Take a listen to see how they handle both.

We know that social media is a big part of life. We use it to have fun, laughing at folks through memes, and videos, we use it to maintain friendships, share interests, and develop relationships with family. During the past year, we have used social media to go to church, attend conferences and so much more. Tiktok, Snapchat, IG, Facebook, and most recently Clubhouse have become an extension of our offline and face-to-face interactions. For all of its good Social media has some risks that impact our lives as well, like being exposed to inappropriate or upsetting content, such as mean, aggressive, violent, or sexual comments or images, exposure to too much-targeted advertising, and marketing and so much more. Today we have two amazing guests joining our conversation we would like to welcome Renata Del Carmen and Priscilla. Renata is a Mom, Lifestyle Connoisseur, Self Care enthusiast, and  Entrepreneur. She spends her time supporting others in experiencing life in style, normalizing inner beauty, and rising to occasions. All is inspired by God, love, beauty & hope.Priscilla is a 14-year-old dance major who loves volleyball, fashion, and watching her favorite youtubers.
