Summary

Modern life keeps telling our brains that everything is urgent, and Dr. Elisha Goldstein says that is exactly why so many of us feel overwhelmed even when nothing is technically wrong. In this deeply helpful episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich talks with Dr. Goldstein, psychologist and author of Tiny Shifts, about techno-stress, the overwhelm loop, why our bodies get stuck in urgency, and how small emotional pivots can actually change the way we move through stress, parenting, relationships, and daily life. From taking one breath and lowering your shoulders to asking better questions, naming what you feel, savoring good moments, and getting outside with your kids even when they resist, this conversation is full of simple practices that feel doable in real life.
