Show Notes

We all experience stress—but not all stress is the same.
 Acute stress shows up in short bursts, like before a big presentation.
 Chronic stress lingers, draining your energy, health, and spirit.

In this episode, I break down:
✅ The difference between acute and chronic stress
✅ How each impacts your brain and body
✅ Real-life examples you can relate to
✅ Practical strategies to calm your nervous system and build resilience

 Stress isn’t the enemy—it’s how long we carry it that matters.

 Listen now on your favorite podcast platform and take the first step toward understanding and managing stress in healthier ways.
