| 0:00.0 | What is up friend? Thank you so much for being here. |
| 0:03.1 | And when I say friend, I mean it because someday I hope that with all of my podcast listeners |
| 0:08.6 | we get to work out together, have a yummy treat together, and then talk about women's health and |
| 0:14.5 | mom life and all of the things that we talk about on the podcast someday. We're going to do a meetup |
| 0:20.0 | someday. Today we're going to be talking about stress and anxiety and managing those, and I'm |
| 0:27.2 | leaning a little bit more into stress today. I want to start by saying, I am not an expert at |
| 0:33.4 | this subject. I am not a guru at stress and anxiety management. I am just like anybody else, |
| 0:40.8 | and I have struggles with it as well, among other things. So some of the stuff I'm going to share |
| 0:46.0 | with you today are things that I'm working on myself. It's things that I'm focusing on and things |

| 1:13.9 | and being real for a moment, I think sometimes on social media, all we see is perfection, which is |
| 1:19.3 | why I'm very open about the fact that I have ADHD. I've had experience with anxiety. I have stress |
| 1:25.7 | in my life. And you know what? I've had bouts of depression. I have an entire episode telling a |
| 1:30.8 | story about when I struggled with depression and my experience with that. So I have no shame in |
| 1:36.6 | admitting some of these things because it actually connects us as friends and when other people |
| 1:43.1 | are struggling with this, I hope they think back to this episode and they add in some of the stuff |
| 1:47.3 | that we are going to talk today about and the things that I'm going to tell you are actually |
| 1:52.5 | really simple because my life is crazy. I mean cray cray. It is a zoo. So I have to simplify things |
| 2:02.4 | and think of down to earth simple ways to make things work in all aspects. And that is what I'm |
