Mapping Our Stress To Shift Culture

When we hear the word “stress” as caregivers, our minds can go in a million directions. The American Psychological Association reports that 34% of adults report that stress completely overwhelms them on most days. And yet, if we can’t measure it and give ourselves the language to talk about its impacts, we can’t make a different in our world and society.

In this episode, Dr. Molly Dickens, a stress physiologist and founder of The Maternal Stress Project, argues that there are numerous inputs of stress impacting maternal health, many of which go unnoticed or unnamed. To figure out the full discussion and find solutions on individual, societal and policy levels, we need to map it all out.
