Episode #26: Is Your Stress Stressing You Out? Do This.
Oct 28, 2025When you hear the word “stress,” what comes up — fear, tension, guilt?
In this powerful solo episode, Dr. Anthea Todd reveals why stress itself isn’t the problem — your perception of it is.
Through neuroscience, real-life stories, and her signature Body–Story–Action framework, Anthea explains how to rewire your relationship with stress so it fuels resilience, not burnout. You’ll learn how to interpret your body’s stress signals differently, release the guilt of “not doing enough,” and cultivate the kind of inner dialogue that helps you thrive under pressure.
You’ll Hear About:
- The neuroscience of stress and inflammation
- Why your brain’s “story” about stress shapes your physiology
- How resisting emotions creates tension, fatigue, and pain
- The power of perception: changing your mind to change your biology
- The link between meaning, stress, and long-term vitality
- How to shift from inner critic to inner best friend
- Practical steps to build capacity — not avoidance
“Chasing meaning in your life is better for your health than trying to avoid discomfort.” — Dr. Anthea Todd
