Stress isn't something you can, or should, completely eliminate from your life. The goal isn't to avoid hard things; it's to build the capacity to handle them without constantly feeling like you're drowning.


In this episode, Sue and Alex break down the massive difference between experiencing stress and living in a constant state of overwhelm. They explore what it actually means to increase your capacity for stress, how to better manage the demands already on your plate, and how to become more resilient without losing yourself in the process.
