In today's episode, we dived deep into the silent epidemic - chronic stress. We've all felt the pressure, but did you know that 75% of Americans are battling increased stress levels post-COVID? We unpacked the impact on our bodies, from anxiety to weakened immunity, and discussed the crucial role of rest and relaxation.

I shared how Spain's culture of leisure provides a clue to longer, healthier living, and why pacing ourselves is key to avoiding burnout. Remember, it's okay to slow down, practice self-care, and not rush through life's milestones. Tune in to this week’s episode to step away from hustle culture and take a breath together towards a more balanced, fulfilling life.

In this episode, I talk about:

• The balance between stress, health, and rest
