Stress is everywhere… and all of us have our opinions on how best  to deal with it.

But what exactly is stress?!?

In this episode's conversation we dig into how stress is not the same for everyone and how it is our biology that triggers the stress response in the brain and body.

We will discuss how you can lead yourself in moments of stress and beyond, thus  increasing your self-awareness of stress, which will allow you to enter a path of building more resilience - for yourself and others.
