STRESS. It even sounds stressful. Today my guest, Stress and Lifestyle Management Coach Kathleen McDermott reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles during challenging times. Life is unpredictable and does not follow a set pattern. We often feel pressured to keep up a frantic pace in life, but sometimes all we need is to slow down and take time for ourselves.The culture of being constantly stressed and busy is not a badge of honor; it can lead to detrimental effects on our health and well-being. Stress affects all aspects of our body, and healing requires addressing both the mind and body. Becoming aware of our triggers and reactions is crucial to breaking free from habitual responses and finding better ways to cope.We are talking about the importance of self-care and setting boundaries and the idea of instead of seeking perfection, focus on doing things in a way that feels right for you.We explore the significance of sisterhood and the support that other women can provide. She encourages us to create a new legacy for ourselves and future generations by taking charge of our lives and seeking ways to feel better. Ultimately, the key to stress management lies in awareness, self-compassion, and choosing better ways to respond to life's challenges.Make sure to sign up for the RELATIONSHIP RESCUE SUMMIT happening the week of August 7th.  SO MANY amazing presenters to help you come back to YOU!
