Everyone around us shouldn't be collateral damage when we're stressed.

Like we are at a age where we've got to figure that out better.

And I don't think our partners should be, our partners included,

like we need to treat our partners well.

One thing that we've really found is really beneficial to our working relationship as well

as our friendship is to have some boundaries and we don't get it perfect but trying to respect

each other's boundaries.

I'm Amy and I'm Abby and as women we are constantly comparing ourselves to others

but your life isn't supposed to look like hers. Being your best self means

standing firm in your decisions and always being willing to grow with a purpose.

We get vulnerable and real with an honest look into the challenges and triumphs we all face.

Every woman listening gets the opportunity to choose what life looks like for herself.

Okay, you guys, today we have a more casual episode in which we are going to talk about stress as it relates to the way that we both experience it,

the impact that it has on the way that we show up

for our friends, our families, our kids, our partners, the way that other

people stress impacts us and the way that we handled that over the years.

So hopefully you're going to leave today with some ideas

on how to tackle your stressful periods

because what we both know is that as adults in this phase of life we are

certainly going to have periods of stressful times.

And when we were thinking about the episode for today, we're both coming out of

slightly stressful times in different ways.
