Finding softness during times of stress

When short-term stressors become long-term stressors our brains and bodies go into a chronic state of sympathetic nervous system activation also known as fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. This becomes our new homeostasis and getting out of this can become quite uncomfortable because this state becomes so familiar and almost comfortable for many of us. Sometimes we may not even realize it because it has become our normal.

In this conversation, Dr. Kristy Lewis and Pamyna Bourgeois will discuss the following:

1. What happens when short-term stressors become long-term stressors
2. The difference between how stress impacts the body vs. the mind/emotion
3. How our stress responses have changed over time
4. How to live alongside long-term stress
5. How this is specifically showing up for women in caregiver roles, aka moms
6. How to find relief amounts all this stress
