REPLAY: The lies you've been told about stress

We’ve all been told that stress is bad — something to avoid, suppress, or eliminate. But what if that belief itself is keeping you stuck?

In this replay episode of Master Stress, I uncover the myths that surround stress, and why the truth is far more empowering.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

• Why stress is actually neutral — and why your response is what matters most.
• The neuroscience of stress (and how your brain and body are wired to handle it).
• A powerful nervous system reset you can practise in minutes.

Inside, you’ll find tools rooted in neuroscience to help you reframe stress, activate your relaxation response, and prevent overwhelm from turning into burnout.

💡 Exclusive bonus tip (just for you here):
The next time you notice your heart racing or your mind spiralling, place one hand on your chest and lengthen your exhale. Just 3–4 rounds of slow breathing with gentle touch can calm your vagus nerve, bringing your system back into balance — a technique I didn’t share in the episode.

Stress isn’t here to break you. It’s here to shape you — when you know how to respond.
