On this week’s episode I am super excited to be bringing back our much loved guest Julz. Who will now be speaking about the topic of exams in University, school, the HSC and TAFE. Where we will be talking about the different levels of stress that you can experience. Acknowledging that a moderate amount of stress can actually good for you and your life. While also recognising the fact that we each individually have a different threshold for the amount of stress we can withstand. Where then go onto speaking about the importance of reaching out for support and introducing more self- care activities during these times. So that stress levels during exams periods are managed or reduced as best as possible.
