In this solo episode of What’s My Body Telling Me?, Dr Anthea Todd flips the script on how we view stress. Rather than treating it as the enemy, she explores the neuroscience behind stress — and how your perception of it determines whether it harms or heals your body.

From the brain’s “Body–Story–Action” networks to simple shifts in how you relate to stress, this episode helps you stop fighting against your body and start working with it to build resilience, energy, and flow.

You’ll learn:

• Why chronic stress can trigger inflammation — and why that’s only half the story
• How your brain’s story about stress shapes your physical response
• What actually happens in your body when you change your perception of stress
• Why resisting emotions creates tension and burnout
• The surprising link between meaning, stress, and long-term health
• How to use self-compassion and inner dialogue to build resilience
• Simple practices to shift from resistance to trust

Whether you’re overwhelmed by daily life or trying to recover from burnout, this episode will change the way you see stress — and show you how to use it as a tool for growth.
