Stress is our body's reaction to a challenge or demand. In short bursts, stress can be positive, such as when it helps us avoid danger or meet a deadline. But when stress lasts for a long time, it may harm our health.

We all experience stress on a regular basis. Often times our option to relieve that stress is exercise. However, stress-relief doesn't just come from exercise. The answer for managing our stress might be in our diet.

Our guest today is a good friend of mine, Claire Kutil.  Claire is also a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner who supports women with balancing their hormones, increasing their energy and discover true health with a bio-individually appropriate plan that meets them where they are and guide them on the journey to being restored and revitalized.

In this episode, Claire shares with us how diet is often overlooked as part of the stress-fighting picture but eating a healthy diet can reduce the negative effects of stress on our bodies. Tune in to learn more.

Hey Thrivers! You are in for another treat this week.

I am chatting with my friend, peer and colleague, Rachel Coll about her experience with sobriety. This is extremely valuable because as we start to approach the holidays and social engagements we must consider what we indulge in and why.

You are going to hear us discuss how we often use alcohol or even sweets to feel temporary relive from an uncomfortable emotion. During COVID, Rachel completed nine months of sorority and she found that dealing with uncomfortable situation while sober wasn’t any harder than when she drank. She notice that alcohol only postponed the discomfort but never got rid of it and whatever discomfort she felt she escape from in the moment that she made the decision to drink or over drink would just come back tenfold the next day in the form of a hangover.

Once alcohol was no longer a buffer she had to face her uncomfortable emotions and process them. What she found is that she had tolerated so much when she was putting alcohol  her body and without the alcohol she saw that she had options. She could choose to be uncomfortable or exit a situation that makes her uncomfortable. Drinking to tolerate anything doe snot have to be your only option, you can choose to leave a situation, a party, a job, a relationship that makes you uncomfortable. You get to choose. 

This is another juicy conversation that you dont want to miss. Press play to join in now.

So you had a bad day- now what? It's not uncommon for a bad day to leave us feeling drained, hopeless, sad, or even unmotivated. A bad mood can ruin your productivity and drain you of your creative energy. 

I recently had a bad day and what I found is that it is possible to feel better after a bad day, and to turn things around yourself and keep them from spinning out of control. The secret to recovering from a bad day is learning how to move forward despite it. How you respond can mean the difference between a quick recovery or devolving into a spiral.

Listen for four ways to help you get back on track so you can come back stronger.
