The Stress to Strength series continues in Episode 009 as Dr. Crystal Frazee introduces you to the concept of stress mapping as the most effective way for women to identify and manage stress levels. Culturally conditioned to tune out your Body Wisdom, this show walks you step-by-step to tune in and develop a personalized approach to stress management that will blow everything you’ve learned previously out of the water.
The truth is that there is no generic ‘self-care’ that will help as much as having the power to identify the physical, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral indicators of stress unique to you. By mastering this skill, you’ll have a competitive edge that also helps you feel more satisfied and sustainable.
