If you’re feeling more stressed than usual these days, you aren’t alone. But this week, host Paula Felps is joined by author, psychology instructor, and resiliency expert Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe to find out why that is and what you can do about it. Dr. Robyne’s latest book, Stress Wisely: How to Be Well in an Unwell World, looks at why the stress of today’s fast-paced world is having such a devastating effect on us, both physically and mentally, and how we can learn to manage it better.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why our bodies aren’t designed for today’s always-on world and what to do about it.
- How to prepare for stress before it happens.
- How to learn to treat stress as an ally — and how that helps us.
