Throughout June on The Stress Less Show, we’ve been focusing on all of the conversations, emotions, and events that have been unfolding in response to the recent protests and racial injustices happening every day in this country. And while in the last month, positive steps toward progress have been made in many industries, states, and communities to address the systemic racism in our country, this fight is not - and cannot be - merely a trend. The work that many of us may have begun for the first time in the last few weeks is only just getting started. That’s why today, I wanted to come on the show solo to talk about what I am doing in my own life to continue addressing racism and share my perspective and tips on how we can keep making real changes moving forward…

Do You Know Your Worth?

Knowing your worth is easier said than done. Many of us don't spend a lot of time thinking about our value to our loved ones, to our employers and the world overall. However, that value cannot be understated. The reality is we have so much to give to the world and one of the most important things we can do for ourselves is to recognize our worth and stand up for it. That is why I brought on the Stress Less Show this week Stephanie Heath, a job search consultant and career coach, to talk all about the importance of knowing our worth so that we can reclaim selfishness and put ourselves first.

Combat COVID-19 Stress With Creative Stress Reduction

Let's face it. We are living through some very stressful times right now. No matter who we are, where we live or what we do, COVID-19 has no doubt disrupted every area of our lives and the reality is that things probably aren’t going to feel normal for a while. Major disruptions in our lives can be a bit overwhelming, but when these disruptions happen on a global scale, fear, panic, and anxiety run rampant in our minds and our communities. As a stress management coach and expert, I spend a lot of time talking about the need for reducing stress in our lives, but now more than ever managing our stress is critical in making sure we are taking care of our health - mentally and physically…

How to Strengthen Your Relationship Through Appreciation

It’s always about the little things. How many times have we come home from a long day at work or spent all day cleaning the house and taking the kids to and from school and playdates, just for our partners to barely bat an eye? A major breaking point in relationships often arises when we feel like our partner is taking us for granted and not appreciating our value. We want to be valued for the work and time we put into our responsibilities and relationships, yet so many of us aren’t getting that and we don’t know why. Since this month’s theme on The Stress Less Show is all about relationships - one of the top stressors in America for women - I brought on Certified Relationship and Confidence Coach, Alex Streisand, to talk all about appreciation in relationships…

How to Regain Control of Your Household Chores

Laundry, taking out the trash, loading the dishwasher - what do these things have in common? They all have the tendency to drive us crazy! Taking care of chores around our homes can be one of those persistent stressors. They have to be done repeatedly and when we have a million other things to take care of at work and in our lives, it can be easy to put off cleaning the house for one day...or two or twenty. The longer we keep pushing off our household chores, the more difficult they become and we then have to spend an entire day buried in dirty clothes and dishes. It happens to all of us, which is why this week on the Stress Less Show, I brought on organizational expert, Sarah Grace of Embrace Your Space NYC, to talk all about household chores…

How to Manage the Stress in Your Relationship With Your Kids

It’s that time of year! June is here, the weather is heating up, and that means school is out for the summer! We all love summer vacations and quality family time, but let’s face it, no one knows how to push our buttons more than our family. Between kids being at home more often and planning trips and beach days with the family, the summer can mean sun and stress for a lot of us. That is why this month on The Stress Less Show, our theme is all about family obligations. To start us off this week, I brought parent and teen coach, Tracey Lukes, on the show to talk about managing stress in our relationships with our kids.

How to Navigate Organizational Changes

Organizational changes - these two words are very common in corporate America and for a lot of people, they come with a lot of stress, fear, and panic attached to them. Changes in your organization can result in layoffs, demotions, promotions, relocations, you name it! All of those possibilities have their own challenges attached to them so it is only natural that you might be overwhelmed by just the thought of a reorganization at work. Because this month on The Stress Less Show has been all about managing job pressure, I decided to bring on leadership and talent development expert, Sarah Noll Wilson…
