In this episode, we acknowledge when stress in our lives becomes toxic and examine how we may be able to make it a bit more tolerable.  

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Aimie Apigian, author of “The Biology of Trauma: How the Body Holds Fear, Pain, and Overwhelm, and How to Heal It.”

Dr. Aimie Apigian, author of “The Biology of Trauma: How the Body Holds Fear, Pain, and Overwhelm, and How to Heal It,” details how unaddressed trauma is often the hidden cause of many preventable illnesses and is linked to eight of the ten leading causes of death. The conversation delves into the physiological responses to trauma, the mechanisms by which trauma can manifest in chronic physical ailments, and the importance of incorporating a holistic approach that includes addressing mental, somatic, and biological impacts of trauma. Dr. Apigian also shares insights from her personal journey and professional evolution, emphasizing the need for a combination of medical treatment and trauma work for optimal health.

Child life specialist and Care & Recovery staff member Melissa Ramirez joins Scott and Whitney in the studio for this episode. They recap the two Ascend Camps we held this summer at our Pelham and Powdersville campuses, discuss some of the deeper cognitive research behind how long-term stress can impact children, and share how the gospel intersects with grief and loss. If you have questions or want access to additional resources, be sure to check out the podcast page at https://grace.sc/resources/podcasts/memberspodcast/

Toxic stress isn't just having too much to do—it's getting stuck in the Freeze Response, and this can fuel depression. When overwhelmed by stress, trauma, or global problems, our brain may default to the freeze response—shutting down, avoiding, or numbing out. While this can feel comforting short-term, over time it dysregulates the nervous system, increases cortisol, and fuels anxiety and depression. Stress is meant to mobilize us to act; suppressing that drive makes it toxic. Small, purposeful actions restore flow—re-engaging the prefrontal cortex, calming the limbic system, and activating the ventral vagus nerve. This is where service for mental health shines: helping others boosts dopamine, oxytocin, and resilience, breaking the freeze cycle. Acts of kindness, whether raking a neighbor's yard, volunteering, or donating, create the “helper's high” and increase well-being. Service brings purpose, which turns discomfort into joy. Even brief, local, face-to-face kindness reduces loneliness and strengthens connection. You don't have to solve everything—consistent small actions aligned with your values can transform toxic stress into healthy engagement, proving that even little ripples can change the world.

Childhood trauma, often referred to as ‘complex' or ‘developmental' trauma, is extremely common but is not often discussed in the context of our work as early childhood educators. And yet, children are showing up to our settings/programs every day carrying the weight of these circumstances and, according to research, a trajectory of negative health outcomes for the lifespan as a result. But Mary Hewitt shares with us that there is hope: early positive relationships and experiences with informed educators have the power to protect, buffer, and even reverse the devastating impacts of childhood trauma.   This episode is sponsored by Mangotree Kids. Mangotree Kids provides African drumming programs and inclusive toys and educational resources which promote the beauty of culture. Our main focus is enhancing the quality and diversity of products that represent Black children, ensuring they see themselves and their culture reflected in the toys they play with.   Our Jolly Djembe Club workshop introduces nursery children to the art of Djembe drumming in a fun and engaging way, and promotes wellbeing through our Rhythmic Meditation exercise.

Feeling constantly anxious, tense, or overwhelmed, a state that can be more than just a hard time—it could be toxic stress. This type of stress, we experience as all-consuming, making it hard to relax. However, with the right support and practical tools, you can regain balance and shape confidence and resilience that lasts. What is toxic stress? Toxic stress is a prolonged state of stress. It's the result of ongoing overwhelming and unmanageable challenges. It appears arises in situations where people feel stuck in difficult circumstances, like prolonged  adversity, neglect, trauma, or illness, lacking adequate support from family and members of their community. Toxic stress can be the result of childhood adversity, yet is also can also profoundly affect adults. Many adults may not recognize toxic stress symptoms until they escalate, sometimes leading to conditions like PTSD.   How to recover from toxic stress?   Create a support system Seek professional support Practice relaxation techniques Legs up the wall activating the parasympathetic nervous system to relax and calm down Focus on what you can control Stay active Participate in support programs Validate your feeling @drschwank @unesurcent

Stress is often called the “silent killer” and can have serious consequences if not managed. It can also greatly affect quality of life. Today we speak with Dr. Gala Gorman, a licensed Acupuncturist, Naturopath, and Author who offers practical advice and programs to reverse health issues resulting from chronic stress. We cover common sources and mistakes many make in dealing with stress and what she terms “Kryptonite.” Many suppress symptoms of stress and start down the road of pain relievers, antacids and even food. This only disguises the pain. Dr. Gala says that stress mostly shows up in adrenal glands and gives some easy ways to manage toxic stressors that can be implemented with daily habits.

Who isn't stressed these days? Whether you're a student, working in a hypercompetitive career space, or dealing with trauma, stress has become a normalized experience for all. But, have you ever stopped to consider how stress is impacting your body and brain? Emerging research is demonstrating that, while some stress can be good for us, toxic and chronic levels of stress can contribute to severe and harmful changes in metabolism, immune function, aging and mental health. So, why are healthcare professionals overlooking the role of toxic stress on our health and what tools can we implement in our daily lives to overcome the negative effects of stress? In this episode, we sit down with an expert in the field to answer all these questions and provide solutions to the problem of toxic stress. Dr. Lawson Wulsin a professor of psychiatry and family medicine at the University of Cincinnati. Dr. Wulsin has a special interest in stress and metabolic disorders and very recently published the book titled Toxic Stress: How Stress is Making Us Ill and What We Can Do About It.

Jack Shonkoff, director of the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University, talks with us about the science around trauma and toxic stress in child development. “I never talk about toxic stress or excessive stress activation without also talking about adaptation and resilience and the fact that you can build resilience against that,” he says. “There's huge variability and sensitivity to these kinds of traumas… the early experiences shift the odds, but they don't determine exactly what's going to happen.” Shonkoff also shares broader insights about how science can be helpful to the public.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

WE...ARE...SOOO....TIRED. Do you feel it? We have so much SHIT going on at work...then we have no energy to manage our emotions and then say ALL the things that we don't want to say to people because we have no filter and then feel like such a bitch, but we're not a bitches (unless we WANT to be), but we DON'T want to be thought of as bitches with our colleagues because we love them but, we are the coach, the mentor, the leader and we are all learning new habits and sometimes we're so tired we just don't have the energy or the patience to deal. We all started to hustle when we were young. Shelby had a part-time job at the age of 12! Many of us worked our way through college or High School and hustled in those very first jobs because we felt like we had to prove ourselves. Some of us hustle to meet important deadlines and client demands. Some of us work multiple jobs to keep the lights on and food on the table. Then some of us started and worked to "prove ourselves" to our male counterparts that we can juggle ALL the balls...childbirth, being a parent, and a dedicated employee. And now....now, that we're more or less 50--we're just tired. Too tired to hustle any more. Amanda Ortega ...HELP US PLEASE!! Our guest today, is an author, speaker, and certified professional coach. Her mission is to help high achievers (like us) prevent burnout by cultivating a healthy approach to success. Her new book, Inward to Upward: Discover your Blueprint for True Success and Escape the Toxic Success Trap Forever, offers a guidebook for ambitious professionals to redefine success for themselves and achieve greater calm, balance, and fulfillment in their lives. Amanda's mission is to change the way we view our self worth and the collective definition of success in our society. In our episode today, she raises awareness of our state of chronic stress and our underlying belief that stress is the fuel behind our success. Guess what..our level of stress is NOT helping us to be more successful! No it is not. It's actually burning us out and making us sick.We're not the only ambitious high achievers out there who are unhappy. So, why do we call this success? Our guest's definition of the "toxic-success trap" is cycles of achievement in which we pursue external goals at the expense of our wellbeing. As we advance in our careers, the idea of "performance" can pull us out of alignment with our true selves and damage our sense of innate self worth. Amanda wants to help people break free of that cycle. SO....Amanda! TEACH US how to return to our authentic Self (Capital S) and separate ourselves from the external performance and fucking dog and pony show we pull off every day.We're ready to STOP defining success transactionally and honor the fact that we are so much more than what we produce!! In this episode, Amanda teaches us: The "success trap" isn't a place, but rather a mindset and an approach to success that isn't sustainable. The definition includes a perception that stress is necessary for success and that current day suffering is a trade off for future happiness. Trust that "calm presence" can help you enjoy your life more and you can be more successful. Life should NOT be stress, stress, stress....pocket of calm. It SHOULD be calm, calm, calm...pocket of stress. You body is equipped to deal with pockets of stress, but burn out happens when your body faces chronic stress daily. Learn to check in with your body and notice what it is telling you...are your shoulders hunched, do you have a pit in your stomach? This is your body in stress. Learn to recognize it and ask yourself if this level of stress is serving you right now and if you're operating from your "fear center". Then, downshift into a more neutral space by breathing or taking a short walk. When you feel your body move into stress, get curious. Use what you notice as (potential) triggers as data points. Then set up "experiments" (not goals) to put to practice your new theories about how you can show up differently and prove the world won't fall apart.

This week our topic is Releasing and Letting Go. In today's Health Huddles I am discussing Do You Suffer from Toxic Stress Syndrome? Many people have had a traumatic event in their lives. This event if not processed creates the Trauma Program. This program is affecting all areas of your life, but it may not be just the program that is causing you to struggle and be stressed out. It might be how your brain developed as a small child. It might be that you get stuck in the Red Zone and stressed out and cannot seem to let go. It might be that you suffer from toxic stress syndrome which can make finding the Green Zone seem impossible. I know how you feel for I myself have this issue. _______________________________________________________ Join The Stress Mastery Community today for FREE! Click here to register HERE! Love the show?

We've all experienced some sort of childhood trauma – yes, even you.    In today's episode, we explore how so many childhood experiences we dismiss as “normal” can actually be quite traumatic to our nervous system.   Trauma isn't just what happened to us or around us.  Trauma is what happened within us, because of what happened around us.    This awareness is huge because our unprocessed childhood trauma has a huge impact on our adult lives.   The signs of dysregulation we experience – emotional volatility, edginess, snapping, difficulty focusing, gut issues, etc. – are all predictable, expected, and normal responses to our life experiences.    This is encouraging, friends.  It means that we're not broken and we don't need fixing.  It simply means that we're holding unprocessed trauma and stress that we need to learn how to release and heal – which is exactly what I coach on in this episode.  Don't miss it!     TAKE THE PERSONALITY PATTERN QUIZ!   FB COMMUNITY: The Calm Mom Collective   JOIN ME ON INSTAGRAM: @michellegrosser.coach   “I love The Calm Mom Podcast!” ← if that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing our show!  This helps us support more women, just like you, on their motherhood journey.  Click here, scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select “Write a Review.”  Then be sure to let me know what you loved most about the episode!

ACEs, or adverse childhood experiences, are the single greatest unaddressed public health threat today, according to our esteemed guest former Surgeon General of California Dr. Nadine Burke Harris. She has been the tireless voice educating the world on ACEs and the biological effects they have over the course of a person's lifetime. Any adult may have heart disease, migraines, depression, or diabetes, sure, but there is a good chance that these chronic illnesses were caused by trauma or severe adversity experienced as a kid. Ali and Dr. Burke Harris discuss how childhood stress literally changes our biology, the consequences, variables and interventions to help kids.
