I believe there is a better way to address overwhelming stress. Right now, working women choose three different methods. Some ignore it. Others try tips that provide short term relief. Still others just suffer through it. I have figured out a few things that work for me and have changed my life. I am having real talk, stress talk conversations to help working women, like you, transition from burnout to balance. We help you to identify the hidden and unnoticed causes of your personal stress and guide you to create personalized stress management routines that fit you and your lifestyle.

  2. An Interview with Laura Bratton - Grit and Gratitude the Ultimate Pairing

    An Interview with Laura Bratton - Grit and Gratitude the Ultimate Pairing

    Laura’s therapist told her to turn TOWARD the anxiety. 😳And Laura's first thought? She said, "I looked at her like she had 12 heads." Same, Laura. I’ve had similar moments when I did the exact same.But here's what happened when she actually tried it. She sat down, set a 5-minute timer, and just... let the anxiety come. The tight stomach. The tension. All of it set in. And instead of the anxiety growing? It left. Because anxiety that gets acknowledged doesn't have to fight for your attentionanymore. It releases. It breathes. And then it goes. Laura said it in a way I will never forget: "I could let it breathe and let it literally leave my body." We spend so much energy running from how we feel. What if the healing was in the five minutes we stopped running? 💛On tonight’s episode of “Stress Talk” with Marcyline, you will get to watch the conversation I had with the exceptional Laura Bratton. Please join us at 7 pm. After watching try it this week. Set a timer. Turn toward it. Just five minutes. Then come back and tell me what happened. 👇 7-Day Stress Reset Guide https://youtu.be/VDEsFYePfJg Laura’s Book https://www.laurabratton.com/book 📌 RESOURCES & NEXT STEPS: 🎙️ Subscribe to StressTalk with Marcyline: https://www.youtube.com/@mlbaileyconsultants 📲 Follow me on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/mlbaileyconsultants Marcyline Bailey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in theState of Georgia, a member of the Academy of Certified Social Workers and a Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP®.)

    Useless Breaks – Try Four Stress Breaks that Actually Work

    You took a break. You switched from your computer screen and picked up your phone. Why do you still feel like you need a break after going back to your computer screen? Was it the notifications? Was it the newsfeed? You laughed at a few silly posts. People are so clever.Isn’t laughter supposed to relieve stress? Why after 15 minutes of scrolling do you still feel tense, nervous or on edge? The “break” you just took wasn’t the “break” that you neededto calm and rest your mind. Instead of turning off the stress response, your internal alarm system, your “break” gave it more fuel. In this episode of “Stress Talk” Live with Marcyline, we aregoing to break down the science of what is causing your “breaks” to fail and what your brain needs to recover when we share “Useless Breaks – Try Four Stress Breaks that Actually Work.” Marcyline Bailey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in theState of Georgia, a member of the Academy of Certified Social Workers and a Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP®.)
