When was the last time you blinked on purpose? If you spend your days on screens running your business, your eyes may be working overtime, and it could be adding to your stress without you even knowing it. In this episode, Dr. Pam Theriot shares simple, doable ways to rest your eyes, protect your energy, and feel calmer and clearer all day.

Dr. Pam Theriot is an optometrist who is committed to helping you understand why a yearly visit to the eye doctor is more important than brushing your teeth.

In this episode:

• Pam shares why tired eyes can make your stress feel even bigger. When your eyes ache and your vision gets blurry, your whole day feels harder.
• She explains why we blink so much less when we look at screens. She says we blink about 21 times a minute while chatting with a friend, but only about 7 on a computer and 5 on a phone. Wow!
• She talks about how doom scrolling keeps your eyes wide open and your body in stress mode, and what that does to your eyes over time.
• Pam shares three easy workspace fixes. Move your screen as far away as you can while still seeing it clearly, wear glasses made for screen distance, and take little breaks.
• She explains her simple break trick. Stand up, sip some water, look across the room, and do five good, hard blinks to refresh your eyes.
• She talks about reading glasses and why the style and fit really matter. The wrong pair can cause even more eye strain.
• Pam shares three kind habits for your eyes. Blink more, take off your eye makeup every single night, and gently clean your lids and lashes.
• She explains what to do about itchy eyelids, which can be a sign of tiny lash mites that tend to grow in number as we get older. There is a prescription eye drop that can help, so ask your eye doctor.
• She shares quick Zoom tips, like putting your light above you and not behind you. She also explains why you should schedule an eye exam if it has been a while, and she offers a free workspace guide at  www.pamtheriot.com/tedx

Two sticks. Some yarn. A whole lot of calm. This episode shows how a simple, repetitive craft can quiet a busy mind, steady a racing nervous system, and become a steady anchor through life's hardest moments.

Alice O'Connell, a former British TV and theatre actress who picked up knitting on the sets of shows like Doctor Who, and later built it into a worldwide teaching practice called Learn to Knit. Through career changes, motherhood far from home, and breast cancer treatment in 2024, knitting has been her steady place to land. Today she's here to share how one simple stitch at a time can calm an overwhelmed mind and a racing nervous system.

• Alice explains that knitting works because repetitive hand motions send a signal to your nervous system that you are safe, calming your breath in just ten to fifteen minutes.
• She shares how she stumbled into knitting almost by accident, using it to stay calm backstage as an actress before it grew into her worldwide teaching platform, Learn to Knit.
• She talks about how knitting became her anchor as a new mom, especially during those long sleepless nights, helping her feel like herself again.
• She opens up about her breast cancer diagnosis and how picking up her needles gave her a way to process the fear and uncertainty that came with it.
• Alice reminds listeners how important it is to do regular self-exams, since finding her own lump early made a real difference in her treatment.
• She compares knitting to scrolling on your phone, pointing out that screens spike your dopamine and leave you feeling drained, while knitting leaves you feeling calm and grounded.
• Alice describes what happens in her group classes, where a room full of stressed people settles into quiet focus within just minutes of picking up their needles.
• She offers simple tips for getting started, sharing that you only need two basic stitches, some affordable supplies, and a little patience with yourself as a beginner.
• Alice encourages everyone to give a creative hobby a try, saying the real question isn't what could go wrong, but what wonderful thing might happen if you just start.

Think you're just tired? Dori Martin shares that it might actually be a mineral deficiency driving your burnout, brain fog, and midlife exhaustion.

Dori Martin is a functional health practitioner who helps high-achieving women uncover the often-overlooked physiological reasons they feel stressed, depleted, and burned out. Her approach connects mineral balance, nervous system regulation, and the foundations that help the body become more resilient.

In this episode:

• Dori explains that minerals are basically the spark plugs your body needs to make energy, handle stress, and keep hormones running smoothly.
• She shares her own burnout story, from caring for her dying dad and her fiance's terminal diagnosis to becoming a single mom, which pushed her body past its limits.
• She talks about how calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium each play a different role, and when your minerals get out of balance, stress wears them down fast.
• She explains that a simple hair test can check to see if you have a mineral deficiency and show your stress levels, metabolism, and thyroid function without needles or blood draws.
• Dori shares that pushing harder with more exercise, more protein, or more supplements can actually backfire if your minerals are too depleted for your body to use them.
• She talks about small daily habits that make a big difference, like five minutes of morning sunlight, a pinch of sea salt in your water to boost minerals, and deep belly breaths.
• She explains why doing nothing feels so uncomfortable for so many women, since we've been trained to be human doings instead of human beings.
• She shares how a mineral deficiency can cause mood swings, rage, and anxiety that often get blamed on hormones instead.
• Dori reminds listeners that healing looks different for everyone, so the goal is learning your own body instead of chasing someone else's routine.

Rochelle Walsh is the founder of Joyful & Present and a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years in the therapy room. She helps high-achieving women move out of chronic stress and burnout — not through more coping strategies, but by working with the nervous system itself.

In this episode:

• Rochelle spent over 25 years in the therapy room before she started helping busy, high-achieving women break free from burnout, and she does it in a way that actually sticks.
• She explains that your nervous system controls way more than people realize, from digestion to how your eyes track, and when it gets stuck in overdrive, your whole body feels it.
• Rochelle talks about how some women grow up believing that being busy equals being successful, and that belief gets wired in so early it feels completely normal.
• She shares that many high achieving women don't even realize they're running on fight or flight, because it's made them productive and it's made everyone around them happy.
• Rochelle explains that stepping back from a packed schedule can actually feel scarier than staying busy, because your brain reads calm as unfamiliar and unsafe.
• She talks about the guilt that shows up the moment you try to rest, and how that guilt is often just an old story your mind picked up a long time ago.
• Rochelle shares a simple trick, when guilt or stress creeps in, get curious instead of just obeying it, and ask yourself what would actually have to be true for it to be okay to relax.
• She explains that real change happens in small repeated steps, not one big overhaul, so a couple minutes of stillness each day can genuinely start to rewire old patterns.
• Rochelle leaves us with a beautiful reminder, just because something has always been a certain way does not mean it has to stay that way, your patterns can change at any age.

Denise Dempsey, a Clinical hypnotherapist and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction teacher. She's spent decades teaching people how to stay clear and grounded under real pressure. She’s also the author of Mindfulness Meditations for Stress, 100 Simple Ways to Ease Tension and Find Peace.

In this episode:

• Denise shares how a stressful season in her life, plus a cassette tape from her mother-in-law, led her down the path to becoming a mindfulness teacher and clinical hypnotherapist.
• She explains that mindfulness is not about clearing your mind or becoming a zombie. It is really about paying attention, sometimes narrow like a laser and sometimes wide like a searchlight.
• She talks about how mindfulness includes the whole body, not just the thoughts in your head, which gives you a bigger resource to work with when life feels like a lot.
• Denise shares a simple trick for busy days. Even a tiny pause to check in with yourself can help you feel like you have more time and more options.
• She explains how she keeps her energy up as a business owner by choosing short bursts of breathing instead of always sinking into deep rest, especially when there is work to get back to.
• Denise talks about the power of setting a daily intention and limiting yourself to just a few priorities so you are not pulled in fifteen directions at once.
• She leads a short guided meditation right in the episode, walking listeners through breath and body awareness they can use anytime they need a reset.
• She shares one of her favorite mindfulness misconceptions to clear up. Your mind is always going to produce thoughts, and that is normal, not a sign you are doing it wrong.
• Denise closes with a reminder that self-compassion is a huge part of mindfulness, and being gentle with yourself in stressful moments can truly change everything.

Struggling with procrastination? What if your procrastination isn't your enemy, but a message trying to reach you? In this episode, Denise talks with embodiment coach Sarah Laverty about how listening to it, instead of fighting it, can turn it into a friend.

Sarah Laverty is an embodiment coach based in Northern Ireland. She specialises in helping women to develop unshakeable self trust and confidence by getting out of their heads and into their bodies - and right now she's on a mission to turn procrastination from your worst enemy into your best friend.

In this episode:

Sarah shares that procrastination isn't you being lazy or broken — it's your subconscious trying to send you a message.

She explains that real procrastination is different from just not wanting to do something. It's when part of you wants to move forward and another part is holding you back.

She talks about her own health scare in her mid-20s that forced her to stop overthinking everything and start listening to her body instead.

Sarah breaks down her three "procrastination archetypes" — the Inner Winter, the Inner Protector, and the Inner Rebel — and how each one is trying to help you, not hurt you.

She reminds us that the Inner Rebel isn't bad news. It's the playful part of you that just wants more joy, more fun, and more you in your own life.

Sarah gives simple ways to check in with your body, like noticing if you feel restless, drained, or bored before jumping straight to your to-do list.

She says the fix for restlessness isn't forcing yourself to sit still — sometimes you just need to get up and take a fast walk to shake it loose.

She opens up about her own "aha" moment discovering she had zero clue what she was actually feeling, and how learning to feel her feelings changed everything.

Sarah leaves us with one beautiful line: your procrastination has something to teach you, and if you slow down and listen, you'll find a friend.

What if everything you have been told about breast health is wrong?

Lynn Fraley, a nurse with a doctoral degree in public health from Berkeley, is pulling back the curtain on the mammogram (breast cancer screening) industry, medical fear tactics, and the breast cancer statistics that nobody is sharing with women. She is giving us the real numbers, the honest conversation, and three action steps you can start using today to feel informed, empowered, and in control of your own body. This is the episode that will change the way you think about your health forever.

Lynn Fraley is Registered Nurse with a Masters in Nursing from UCLA and a doctorate from UC Berkeley’s School of Public Health. She has worked in healthcare for 35 years, and has long been concerned about conventional health monitoring practices and treatment of breast disease.

In this episode:

• Lynn shares why she became passionate about women's breast health — and why she believes women are often brought into the healthcare system under false pretenses that create more fear than facts.
• She explains the mammogram (breast cancer screening)  controversy that most women never hear about, including how radiation is focused on sensitive breast tissue at the exact moment it is under pressure and inflammation.
• She talks about the concept of "medical bullying" and why it is okay to slow down, ask questions, and not rush into a scan just because your doctor — or a reminder letter — tells you to.
• Lynn reveals that the actual breast cancer risk for a woman in her 40s is around 1.5%, and even with certain genetic markers, that number only doubles to about 3% — something most women are never told.
• She explains her three action steps: get clarity about what the real risks and options are, find your courage because you have already handled hard things in your life, and build confidence that your body has an incredible ability to heal.
• She shares why she wrote her book Cherish the Girls: A Well-Rounded Approach to Breast Health and Wellness — because she was tired of watching women feel victimized and terrified over something that may be a much lower risk than they have been led to believe.
• She talks about the powerful role that stress plays in breast health and overall wellness, reminding us that living in a constant state of worry and stress actually works against the body's natural ability to heal itself.
• Lynn explains that family history of breast cancer is not a life sentence, and that many factors like diet, lifestyle, and even possible misdiagnosis need to be considered before assuming the worst.
• She leaves listeners with this: have a plan before they do breast cancer screening, take your time, and remember that you are not in an emergency — you have options, and you have the strength to make informed choices for yourself.

What if six minutes with a good book could actually calm your nervous system? Spoiler: it can, and the research proves it.

Stephanie Affinito shares with us why reading and writing are two of the most underrated stress relief tools out there. From her "pause pile" strategy to the brain dump method that finally quiets that mental noise at the end of a long day, this episode is packed with simple things you can start doing today.

Stephanie is a book-loving, notebook-hoarding literacy educator on a mission to change lives one book and one notebook at a time. She blogs about the power of leading literate lives and podcasts weekly on books and reading, writing and notebooks and everything in between for both adults and children on her weekly podcasts Get Lit(erate). and KidLit Love.

In this episode;

• Stephanie Affinito shares how her love of books and notebooks started as a little girl — and how they became her lifeline when she got seriously ill as a teenager, proving that reading and writing are way more powerful than we think.
• She explains that just six minutes of reading is all it takes for your body to start to calm down — heart rate drops, breathing slows, and your muscles finally get the memo to relax.
• She talks about how 30 minutes of reading gives your nervous system the same feel-good benefits as 30 minutes of yoga — no mat or stretchy pants required!
• Stephanie shares that reading and writing actually work at a cellular level to reduce chronic stress, anxiety, and even depression — and that readers have been shown to live up to two years longer than non-readers.
• She explains the three levels of reading benefits — just reading feels good, reading the right books for where you are makes you feel even better, and then taking action on what you read is where the real magic happens.
• She talks about the "pause pile" — a small stack of feel-good books you keep in your line of sight so when stress hits, you can grab one, read for six minutes, and actually shift how you feel fast.
• She explains that if you can't wind down at night to read, try a brain dump first — just dump every swirling thought onto paper, and your brain finally gets to exhale.
• She shares her two-highlighter trick for brain dumps — yellow for things you can control, pink for things you can't — so you can stop spinning and start taking one small action that actually moves the needle.
• Stephanie's final word of wisdom: give yourself the permission slip to pick up a book or a notebook for just six minutes — it's free at the library, it's always available, and it just might be the most powerful stress tool you haven't tried yet.

Tami Stackelhouse explains what fibromyalgia really is and why so many people struggle to get answers about their pain, fatigue, and brain fog. She also shares how stress affects the body and why learning to support your sleep, nervous system, and lifestyle can help you start feeling better.

Tami Stackelhouse is an award-winning author, founder of the International Fibromyalgia Coaching Institute, host of the Fibromyalgia Podcast, and executive producer of the feature documentary, INVISIBLE. Tami teaches fibromyalgia patients how to take back control of their lives and health using her signature Fibromyalgia Wellness Framework℠ — so they can break free from the prison their bodies have become and begin living lives they love.

In this episode:

• Tami shares that her journey with fibromyalgia began after she was diagnosed herself in 2007, and after finally getting help from a health coach, she felt better and decided she wanted to help others feel better too.
• She explains that fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition where pain can move around the body, and people often deal with deep fatigue, brain fog, and sleep that never feels truly refreshing.
• She talks about how confusing diagnosis can be because there is no simple test for fibromyalgia, so doctors often have to rule out many other conditions first.
• Tami shares that with fibromyalgia, the nervous system can start to treat normal sensations as pain, almost like the body’s “pain volume knob” has been turned way up.
• She explains that stress can play a big role, both before fibromyalgia develops and after, because the body can get stuck in fight-or-flight mode and stay tense for hours or even days.
• She talks about how people with fibromyalgia often feel misunderstood since they may look fine on the outside while dealing with serious pain and exhaustion on the inside.
• Tami shares some hopeful news: it is possible to feel much better, and she even reached remission from fibromyalgia pain by making lifestyle changes and listening closely to her body.
• She explains that sleep is one of the most important things to work on, and many people with fibromyalgia also have sleep issues like sleep apnea that need proper testing.
• Tami encourages people to learn as much as they can about their condition, ask questions, build the right support team, and remember that fibromyalgia is real—and feeling better is absolutely possible.
• Tami talks about her quiz - Fibromyalgia Wellness Style Quiz — a free, science-based quiz that helps you use your strengths to feel better, reduce stress, and live well with fibromyalgia. https://FibroQuiz.com

In this episode, Charlotte Haggie busts the myth of “balance” and shows why what busy women really need is resilience. She explains that stress comes from the pressure we put on ourselves—like trying to be the capable one, the perfectionist, or the people pleaser.

As a qualified coach and mum of two, Charlotte is disbanding the myth of ‘balance’ and highlighting the need for resilience for working mums who long to be focused, present and productive as they lead at work and at home.

Through her Ease Over Effort Framework, Charlotte helps women build the mental muscles of resilience so that they do not buckle under the stress of life but have the capacity to hold a heavier ‘load’ with more ease, peace and calm.

Charlotte is the Founder and Host of top 2% globally-ranked podcast The Resilient Working Mum (dedicated to all things stress management and resilient building for working mums) and a sought-after Coach for women working in the corporate world or in their own businesses.

In this episode:

• Charlotte shares that “balance” is a myth, because life isn’t a perfect scale with work on one side and life on the other.
• She explains that most of us aren’t balancing… we’re walking a tightrope while juggling way too many balls at once.
• She talks about how the real goal isn’t perfect balance—it’s resilience, so you can handle life with more ease, peace, and calm.
• Charlotte shares that resilience isn’t about building a hard shield… it’s about staying rooted and flexible, like a strong tree in a storm.
• She explains that stress is an internal response to an external situation, and it often comes from the story you tell yourself about whether you can handle it.
• Charlotte talks about “identity-based stress,” like feeling you have to be the capable one, the good girl, the perfectionist, or the people pleaser.
• She shares that one of the fastest ways to lower stress is rebuilding self-trust—start small (like drinking a glass of water every morning), then stack one new habit at a time.

In this episode, Noelle McWard explains the 3 main anxiety types (catastrophizing, control, and distorted beliefs) and shares simple tools to help you feel calmer and more in control.

Noelle McWard Aquino is a therapist in Chicago with more than 30 years experience specializing in the treatment of anxiety disorders. She is the author of the bestselling book, Anxiety Unpacked: Discover Your Type and Recover Your Peace, published in 2025. In addition to her clinical work, she is a speaker, therapist educator, and mother to a young adult child who has lived with anxiety for most of his life.

In this episode:

• Noelle shares how she was drawn to working with anxiety early in her career (even though she didn’t personally struggle with it), and later realized it prepared her to support her own child who lives with anxiety and OCD.
• She explains anxiety isn’t just “worry” — it shows up in the body too, like a racing heart, tight muscles, short breath, and feeling like you can’t relax or shut your brain off.
• She talks about how anxiety is actually normal and human — it’s meant to protect us — but it becomes a problem when it shows up constantly even when there’s no real danger.
• Noelle shares the 3 main “anxiety types” she teaches: catastrophizing, control, and distorted beliefs, and she explains why knowing your type matters so you can treat the real root, not just the symptoms.
• Noelle explains catastrophizing is when your brain jumps into “what if…” mode and creates worst-case stories — and one helpful practice is asking: “What do I know is true right now?” so you can separate facts from fear.
• Noelle talks about control anxiety as a deep need for safety, where you try to manage everything by over-preparing and overthinking — but the real goal is building trust that you can handle whatever happens.
• Noelle shares that distorted beliefs are painful inner stories like “I’m not good enough” or “I’m unlovable,” and healing starts when you practice new actions (like saying no or setting boundaries) and see that you can still be accepted.
• She talks about how her free quiz click here helps find your anxiety type.

Marla Simlett, or as many know her, Marvelous Marla is a speaker, emcee, and registered clinical counsellor who helps people learn and laugh their way to becoming their greatest self.

In this episode:

• Marla explains that she started combining her therapeutic counseling practice with humor because laughter helps open people up, lower resistance, and makes them open to learning and improving.
• She shares that stress is really tough on our bodies, raising stress hormones and putting us into a fight or flight state where we can't make good decisions.

• She talks about how laughter helps you focus your brain on positive things, because what you focus on tends to expand in your life.
• She suggests three intentional ways to bring laughter into your life: first, make a "laughter checklist" of things that make you laugh; second, find external "go-tos" like a funny friend or comedian for stressful days; and third, intentionally practice bringing up the feeling of laughter inside your own body.
• Marla explains the practice of Laughter Meditation, which came from Laughter Yoga, where you purposely laugh out loud because your brain can't tell the difference between real and auto-generated laughter—you get the benefits either way.
• She shares that nervous laughter still gives you all the physical benefits of regular laughter and is actually a learned coping mechanism you use to protect yourself or lighten a situation.
• Marla's final words of wisdom are to laugh more, suggesting listeners check out her laughter intelligence assessment to find intentional ways to leverage laughter in their lives.

Isabelle Tremblay spent years looking successful while quietly burning out. After 24 years in high-pressure marketing roles—on top of raising two young kids—she hit a breaking point and walked away from the polished life that was draining her.

In the space that followed, she rebuilt from the inside out. Meditation, mindset work, and a new belief that leadership can come from love reshaped everything. That journey inspired her best-selling book Love, Lead, Succeed, where she shares her story and practical tools for redefining success without losing yourself. Readers walk away with permission to slow down, the courage to reinvent, and a gentler, stronger way to lead.

• She explains that her journey of rebuilding was inspired by meditation, mindset work, and a new belief that leadership can come from love.
• She talks about how success shouldn't just be measured by emails sent or corporate profits, but by how aligned you are with your overall purpose and focusing on your mental and physical health.
• Isabelle explains that burnout can be sneaky, and it’s important to listen to clues in your body and mind, like feeling strong anxiety when trying to focus, or even starting to cry for no reason.
• She shares some life-changing techniques like meditation, gratitude walks, and positive affirmations to help with day-to-day stress and have a positive impact on mental health.
• She talks about her morning routine, which includes not looking at her phone for the first hour and starting the day with meditation and a gratitude walk to set a positive tone.

• Isabelle shares her top techniques for reshaping your future, like using positive affirmations (recorded and played all night) and creating an animated video vision board to create more emotion and raise your vibration.
• Isabelle explains that it's never too late to reinvent yourself—even at age 47 she reinvented herself by starting a consulting business and writing her book, Love Lead, Succeed.

Angela Jean teaches the fundamentals of nervous system resets, helping people keep their bodies open so transformation truly sticks. She guides clients to understand emotional energy, because not all energy is the same — and shows them how to redirect negative thought patterns around love, money, and self-worth. Using high-vibe audios combined with intentional movement, she installs empowering patterns in just three-minute micro-sessions that are fun, flexible, and easy to do as often as needed, so anyone can embody this method.

In this episode:

• Angela shares how her work began after experiencing deep personal loss and how that inspired her to study the energy behind negative thought patterns and healing.
• She explains that not all energy is the same—anger, depression, love, and money each move differently through the body and must be met in their own way.
• Angela talks about how to meet anger with powerful, intentional breathing instead of trying to “calm it down,” so your body feels seen and understood.
• She shares how love and money are often tied to childhood beliefs, and how uncovering these “distorted imprints” helps you feel safe holding abundance and connection.
• Angela explains her rhythmic riddle practice—a mix of music, movement, and mantra—that helps rewire your brain for positivity and confidence in a fun, catchy way.
• She shares a simple daily body-opening exercise using a broom or stick behind your back to teach your body what “open and safe” feels like. Click Here to see the quick video
• Angela reminds us to take responsibility for the energy we bring to the world—because when one woman rises in calm and confidence, we all rise together.
