From Burnout to balance

What is stress and why is it something that can wreak havoc on your health and happiness?
In a world that is so busy for most of us, it’s easy to miss the signs of stress, and to shrug off the impact it can have on you. This is the perfect conversation to recognise International Stress Awareness Week, so take a listen and check-in with yourself on how stress might be showing up for you and how to start taking steps to manage it in the best way possible.
“Everyone of those things are free. Every one of those things we can do on our own. It’s you and your body and you can easily do some of these very simple things.”
— Nicola Mercer
“It’s not the stressors that are so toxic and dangerous to our health, it’s our perception of them. The key with stress is learning to respond in a way that doesn’t tear up your mental and physical health.”
—April Likins
