Podcasts about Stress management

Sometimes, we are just too overwhelmed by life circumstances due to stress, depression, overwhelming responsibilities, or other factors to even know where to begin to get on solid footing again.  In today's episode, Michelle makes a case for starting with a shower.

Emily's book, A Wilder Eden: How to Keep Dreaming in a World of Disappointments, is based on the concept of the Garden of Eden and how it contrasts with the broken world we live in full of disappointments. Emily talks about how people have gone through hard things such as the pandemic, divorce, infertility, infidelity, business failure, and not being able to buy a house. The book is about continuing to own and co-create our story without becoming a victim of what is happening.

It's stressing you out and making you frustrated and pushing you towards giving up.Quitting is not going to help move you forward. It's going to put you back at square one again. Day one. Back to no progress. Sound fun? I didn't think so…Instead refocus on all the progress you've already made. Maybe you are sleeping better. Your clothes fit differently. You learned to cook. You set the example for your family on HEALTH (not JUST weight loss)Find positive things to focus on instead of just that fuc*ing scale!#2 - Focus on your DAILY actions and habits. That's what you can control. You can't control what the scale says everyday (water retention, sleep amount & quality, hormonal changes, stress, time of day, etc influence this.)Find ONE thing each day you can do to move yourself forward. Act as if the scale didn't exist and do the right shit you know you need to do… Some ideas:1.Eat protein at every meal2. Get 10,000 steps everyday this week.3. Drink “x” oz's of water every day this week.4. Get 8 hours of sleep5. No soda this weekYou get the idea. Refocus on what you can control and nail healthy habits, those are what will lead you to the promised land after you do them consistently.I hope this helps you continue creating massive transformation in your life!Until next time, go get uncomfortable.Schedule a free strategy call with us at EnlightenedAthlete.com to learn how we can help you remotely with exercise & movement programs, stress management, breathwork, and nutrition coaching!Connect with us by shooting us an email at info@enlightenedathlete.comFind Shae on Facebook HEREFind us on Instagram HEREFind us on twitter HERE

One of the biggest issues I've had with the Wellness Community has been the sort of 'all or nothing' approach to things. So many of the popular faces in the culture preach an idea that you need to completely remove the troubling or bad things in your life. For example, they'll tell you to be happy you need to remove all stress. That's just not realistic, or healthy. Stress is a natural part of our lives. The better way is to learn how to manage the stresses we face. Learn how to determine how much of it we take on.Dr. Elissa Epel has been studying stress and its impact on the body for years. She's just published a book called 'The Stress Prescription: 7 Days To More Joy and Ease.' I had a chance to catch up with Dr. Epel to discuss stress, how it's evolved over time and how we can better manage it in our own lives.

Looking to add more confidence, boldness and fun to your life?   I sat down with Mignonne Gavigan, the Founder of the unique and bold jewelry line Mignonne Gavigan to talk about how jewelry can impact your mood, boost confidence, create a sense of adventure and more.  Mignonne shares her journey as a founder and how she mantains her well-being with all of the pulls on her time. Mignonne and Kristel also talk about how jewelry and accesories can help you branch out and step out of your comfort zone in a fun way. Tune in now! Key Takeaways from This Episode: How jewelry and accessories and positively impact our mood How jewelry can boost confidence A look into being bold A look into the brand Mignonne Gavigan An inside look at being a Founder How to support your well-being as a Founder Kristel was gifted a pair of Blush Madeline earrings which she was wearing during the interview. About Mignonne Gavigan At Mignonne Gavigan, accessories are the perfect finishing touch. We believe jewelry improves our overall mood. We love the carefree experience of layering and truly believe more is more. We also love the moment of wearing one treasure that lifts your spirit and brings joy.  Our philosophy is that sophistication and playfulness can coexist. We aim to thoughtfully design one-of-a-kind pieces that tell a story of handmade craftsmanship and faraway travels. Our approach stems from Maggie's love of art, nature, architecture and textiles bringing all together in jewelry. We believe what you wear should bring you joy, maybe even encourage you to take a few risks. With partners in India and Asia, we create modern designs informed by 100-year-old heritage techniques. Signature styles include the scarf necklace, decadent statement earrings, dreamy intricately detailed brooches, and bracelets.  Mignonne Gavigan launched in 2014. It was a bit spontaneous. Mignonne, "Maggie", was experimenting with a beaded couture vintage gown and an embellished piece of fabric fell to the floor. She picked it up and fastened it around her neck because she thought it was a cool scarf vibe. On her walk home through Soho a handful of compliments and questions on where she had gotten her necklace came about and the first Mignonne Gavigan design idea was born. She always knew she wanted to create a brand, a community and a workplace that were all built on kindness and happiness. Maggie launched Mignonne Gavigan jewelry in hopes that each piece would bring joy and happiness to the wearer. Ultimately what she's discovered is that women develop a significant amount of confidence when wearing an MG piece. That is so important to the MG team- that we are building a community of confident and joy-filled women.

Got Stress?   Ya, I know you do, we all do. CHRONIC stress.  Did you know that that chronic stress is drastically interfering with your ability to lose weight and get healthy? Chronic stress contributes to heart disease, insomnia, poor immune function, inability to lose weight, skin issues, anxiety, low energy, poor recovery, etc. etc. It's obvious that managing your chronic stress is a BIG DEAL!   You've probably heard that one of the most effective ways to deal with stress is meditation, but have you tried to meditate? I find it SUPER difficult, and I've tried several times to start a habit of meditation with no success.  I just don't stick to it.  If that sounds like you too, I've got geed news! A new study out of Harvard has found that certain breathing exercises are actually MORE effective than mediation at improvements overall in heart rate variability, improved sleep, reduced stress, and improved mood.   In this episode I'm going to break down the study, what they looked at, what they found and how YOU can incorporate these super easy breathing exercises right now to start managing your stress.   In writing and recording this episode I'm thinking it might be awesome to have a stress management challenge!

Tune in to hear:- Why do we take our autonomic nervous system for granted and why does it have such a profound effect on our ability to be successful communicators?- What are the different hierarchical states of the nervous system and what role do each of these play in determining the stories we tell ourselves? - How would Laura's work with a client look different than a CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) approach and why does she believe that nervous system work should come before one should attempt to change their mindset about something?- Our physical health really underpins our mental health much of the time. When a client is going through a period of stress, and not physical dysfunction, what is a way to introduce “body first” messaging that won't alienate that client?- What practical tips does Laura have for the average advisor who is personally taking on a lot of the emotional weight of their client's problems?- How can financial professionals be better at providing context for their clients within Laura's nervous system focused framework?- Why does choice play such an important role in regulating the state of our nervous system?- Laura believes that working with the nervous system directly can have profound effects on our financial decision making.

There are so many hifalutin words we can use describe life, but if we do away with being metaphorical, we'd all agree with this direct description: life is stressful. Anywhere you go, no matter what you do, whether you're rich or poor, no matter who you are, there is no getting away with stress. You're bound to feel stressed in one way or another. In fact, it is a major contributor to many of the health problems people encounter. But stress is not only a culprit to many of our health hazards, it is also translated in so many things that we don't easily recognize are effects of stress. Some develop anger issues, others resort to porn, to addiction, video games, social media, alcohol, drugs, and so many more distractions, ultimately leading to one thing—destruction. Life is designed to have stress. It's a staple and it's one of the many things that makes us humans. But how we respond is what either makes us or breaks us. Listen to Episode 157 to learn more!

It can seem like stress management is the only way to feel less stressed. After all, it seems like we need a way to handle all this stress life throws at us. But it turns out that the only reason we need stress management is because we misunderstand how stress is created. Once you understand the truth about stress, you can see how to stop stressing without stress management. Join me as I explore this from a new perspective.

Wendy and her best friend Megan, who have five young adult children between them, reflect on their transition to an empty nest together this fall. They share the story their unique lifelong friendship, and their shared experience entering motherhood, midlife, and now empty nesting together. They recount some of their favourite parts of living without kids again and some of the unforeseen challenges (or are they perks?) like chocolate covered peanuts for lunch and key lime pie for dinner, playlist control (Piano Chill, anyone?), finding a “new normal” with your partner, and the lack of any requirement to follow a routine. The two friends discuss the toughest parts of not having your children close by and share what they did to find their own sense of purpose before their nests emptied and how that has helped to make this a surprisingly joyful time of life. They explore the idea of anticipatory grief and provide some very helpful insight into how to prepare yourself for this next chapter of parenthood. If you've got children (or nieces, nephews or step-kids or godchildren), don't skip this one –the emotions involved in this natural transition period in midlife are universal. Please feel free to share this episode with any moms (or dads!) you know who are in the thick of this or anticipating the transition, this is a fun and positive conversation!

Wowza! Talk about cutting through the BS and and diving into the messy truth of spirituality on Earth (or at least in North America)! When I met Pleasance Silicki at her Lil ‘Omm yoga studio in 2013, how was I to know that she'd rock my world so deeply — each and every time we met!

We speak to our taught resistance to ease and the rise of pleasure-validation, masculine structures that hold feminine flow. And of course, the way all of this supports us individually and collectively to be the activists that trailblaze the life-design and social-design needed to create a more inclusive and just world for ALL.

Amid this unprecedented feat, Gail has also been living with Graves' disease and symptoms of Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) for more than 30 years. After a harrowing two-and-a-half-year quest for answers about her health, Gail was diagnosed with Graves' disease in 1990, just two years before winning her first Olympic gold medal. Her journey back to the track was nothing short of spectacular, especially after overcoming near career-ending symptoms, including extreme weight loss, fatigue, and insomnia. Gail also experienced symptoms of TED including eye pain, dryness, irritation and bulging eyes. In a decorated 25-year track career that followed, Gail has been recognized as an American sporting icon. By winning back-to-back 100m Olympic gold medals, and three World Championships in 100m hurdles, Gail cemented herself as one of the most dominant female sprinters of our time. She has since been inducted into both the National Track and Field and the United States Olympic Halls of Fame. Today, Gail enjoys volunteering and giving back to the community through organizations that include The Boys and Girls Clubs of America and the Atlanta Track Club. She also coaches hurdles for her daughter's high school track team, mentors world-class athletes, and loves spending time with her family, two dogs and their rabbit.  About Wanda Durant Wanda Durant, affectionately known as “Mama Durant” and “The Real MVP,” is a leader, entrepreneur, philanthropist and patient advocate, who has been living with Graves' disease for 17 years. She is a mother of two sons: NBA Champion and MVP player, Kevin Durant, and businessman Anthony (Tony) Durant.

One of her mantras is “where there is hope, there are possibilities.” Her passion is to inspire underserved children, single mothers, families, and communities to move beyond their immediate circumstances and to aim for higher heights in life.

Dear Motivated Friend,Are you ready to take control of your life and business, rather than being held back by other people's expectations and personal vices? Do you struggle with self-doubt and letting others' opinions hold you back? Is the stress in your life robbing you of fulfillment and happiness? Have you had success in the past, but found yourself falling back into old habits?If you're done trying to do this on your own and need a coach who will always tell you what you need to hear, rather than just what you want to hear, and who will support, push, and guide you, then this program is for you.It's about becoming the person you're proud of and living a fulfilled life that's 100% controlled and designed by you, one that's based on your greater purpose and doesn't believe in limitations. Isn't living to your full potential and being fulfilled what life is all about? I believe that if you truly believe you deserve something, you will have it. If you envision a better version of yourself, you must strive to attain it. But it takes an effective plan of action and consistent progress towards your goals to earn this version of yourself.This is your pathway to unstoppable success.I'll see you at the top,- BlakeJoin Blake's Limitless Mindset coaching community today: https://www.blakeclark.com/

Are you holding your breath, even just slightly? Are you leaning forward, tensely anticipating the next problem to land in your email inbox? Most of us, without realizing it, hold our breath while we're at our desks or at work. Take a moment now to lean back in your chair and take a few deep slow breaths. Shallow breathing while we're responding to emails is just one of the many ways in which we're unconsciously contributing to the stress response in our bodies.Personal and societal stress add up in our bodies every day. We wake up with it, carry it with us like heavy luggage, pile on more throughout our daily routines, and wrap ourselves in it as we fall asleep. Even if we are not aware of it. New York Times best-selling author Dr. Elissa Epel is back with a plan to turn stress into strength in her new book,  THE STRESS PRESCRIPTION: Seven Days to More Joy and Ease. As a leader in the fields of stress and biological aging, she is acutely aware of the ill effects of stresson our health. But her research also explores how we can transform our relationship to stress—how we can stress better, viewing stress as an exciting challenge rather than a threat, and how we can find true relief from feeling overwhelmed. Over the course of 7 days, THE STRESS PRESCRIPTION will transform our stressful lives into a more regenerative joy that helps us surf the daily challenges and experience deeper rest states.
