How do we differentiate the good stress from the bad stress that is present in our lives today, and what exactly is stress? Can we really live a stress-free life? Is it even possible?  
Our guest on today's show, Scarlette Acevedo is a registered member of the Australian Counseling Association, Public Health Association of Australia, and the International Union for Health Promotion and Education. Let's unpack some of this and see how we can't seem to avoid it.  Scarlette has developed her own method for making stress work for people instead of against them. Her current focus is on helping business leaders break free from stress. By integrating mental health and physical health, she aims to empower individuals to do the same. The extent to which we will be able to contribute our gifts, talents, and skills to society and humanity as a whole depends heavily on our overall well-being.
