It looks like everywhere you turn every one is talking about what they do, their job titles, who they report to, yada yada yada. And on top of what we do, we're working moms, wives, taking care of parents and side hustling. And while there's some temporary pleasure and satisfaction that comes with the humble brag and painting this rosy, peachy perfect picture of our lives, if we're honest with ourselves (and each other), we're stressed out. But that's the part we don't like to show on the gram or let people know. We avoid talking about the fact that we are feeling stressed, overwhelmed and burnt out.

Well in today's episode, we break the silence, admit that we are hella stressed and share how we've learned to reduce to stress and overwhelm in our lives. This is such a great, honest and useful conversation to have anywhere and with anyone because it's a valid feeling that most people have and most are trying to manage.

In Episode 18 of No Small Talk, we talk about:

• the networking event that inspired this conversation...the discussion from "what do you do", to talking about Nacho Cheese Doritos, to "how are you managing your stress"
• Ebony and Sherry's personal eating habits and personal snack of choice
• the value of exercise, prayer and meditation
• Setting boundaries and saying NO!
• Seeking help and counsel from family, friends and counseling
