All About Stress

It was Stress Awareness Month in April so we’re bringing you a belated episode all about stress, what it is, what it means for your body and mind and how to tackle it and cope with stress a little bit better.

This week, we cover:

• Real and perceived stresses and how they’re one and the same thing
• The stress response and the physiological impacts of stress
• Your built-in relaxation system: the parasympathetic nervous system
• Spotting the signs of stress therefore preventing burn-out
• Our own experiences of burn-out
• Manage stress with these top tips

We can’t stress enough (pun intended) the value of social connections and self-care during times of stress: whether that’s driven by internal or external pressures.
