Mastering Stress Management: Tips and Some of my Real-Life Stories

This week's episode is all about handling stressful situations.

If you pay attention, stress pops up in our lives almost every hour. But how do we manage it?

You'll hear why it's crucial to recognize stress first and then consistently plan your reaction each time.

I even had this whole podcast episode ready for you, but then my computer crashed. Stressful, right?

We've all had those moments.

If you have a tendency to freak out in the moment, you'll appreciate the lessons in this week's episode.

You'll hear about:

• My recent family trip to Vancouver and how it put my stress management strategies to the test — from delayed flights to tech failures, it was a whirlwind!
• How some intentional planning and setting priorities helped me keep calm and enjoy the time.
• The importance of setting intentions for your daily life and the bigger events too
• Prioritizing what's really important during overwhelming moments
• Letting go of what you can't control to stay calm and focused
