    #32 Stress mindset & how to change it

    Why are you stressed? Simple question but difficult answer. One reason could be your social setting - if you are part of a 'stress culture', you are likely to copy negative believes, behaviours and thoughts around work and time.

    In this episode, I share with you


    why your surroundings shape your thoughts
    how you can become of it
    how you can change it for yourself & the people around you

    Thanks for listening!
