The reality is, stress isn’t the exception, it is the rule. And us women are conditioned, unfortunately, to have toxic resilience and “embody” the hustle culture as a badge of honor. And it's literally killing us by causing weight gain, anxiety, premature aging, and so much more!! So how can we hop off the stress & burn out train and actually start to recognize the signs that you’re stressed – like doing angry dishes like me, or eating chocolate cake late at night like Dr. Aditi – and so you can DO something about it, before it’s too late?? Well in this episode of Women of Impact we have the help of the #1 Harvard-trained stress expert, Dr. Aditi Nerurkar!! And Dr. Aditi is NOT holding back with her actionable, practical, and science-backed approach to improving your relationship with everyday stress so you can avoid feeling burnt-out and totally hopeless. So we’re breaking down, in DETAIL: - The warning signs and symptoms of stress, and I guarantee that you didn’t know about most of these sneaky symptoms!! - Why you do something called “revenge bedtime procrastination” - A TON of practical tactics and exercises to help you deal with stress, and by far my favorite is Dr. Aditi’s 3 second exercise - How to identify your own warning signs that you’re getting stressed so you can stop it before you become an anxious, cranky, overwhelmed and overworked mess! - Science-backed ways to identify stressors in your life, build boundaries, and start to actually feel better, so you can FINALLY take a deep breath and smile, maybe for the first time in a long time! By the end of this episode homie, you’ll know EXACTLY what you need to do – with strategies, exercises, and MORE – so you can STOP living in fight or flight mode 24/7 and actually cope with your stress before it turns into chronic stress, anxiety, and even premature aging (or, let's face it, health issues like what I'm suffering with now). So if you want to start taking ownership over your life and make changes that actually serve you, today’s the day and this episode is the one!! CHAPTER MARKERS: 😖 [00:00] Effects of chronic stress & burnout ❌ [13:06] Debunking toxic hustle culture 💡 [21:38] Identifying & listening to your body's stress signals 🧠 [39:13] Strategies for managing your stress 👍🏼 [1:06:57] Normalizing stress and burnout 📝 [1:40:58] Your plan for managing stress DR. ADITI’S MOST QUOTABLE WISDOM: "So in a room of 30 people, that's like saying 21 people are suffering from stress and burnout. And so the first step is really acknowledging this in ourselves, acknowledging this in others, and understanding that if you are feeling this way, it is not the exception, it is the rule." "What is the thing that is making you sit up and take notice? Because your body and your brain will always tell you, and it's about paying attention to those signs so that you don't have a moment like you had or a moment like I had, where it just really comes to a head." "Again, the strategy is not to berate yourself and say, oh, why? Why did I stay up till two in the morning? That's terrible. Because then you'll do it again the next night and next night, and then you feel again, we talked about, right, like, that sense of agency or self efficacy. It erodes, and then we feel bad about ourself, and then that inner critic shows up, and then, because we're not sleeping well, we might snack at eating something late at night. So it's just a vicious cycle." "Our brains and our bodies need a respite. You need to come down so you can have stress, and your brain and body will be great at responding to it, but then you need a period of just calmness."
