So what are we talking about today?

Today, we're going to talk about stress and what triggers it, how it manifests, how we feel about it, how to manage it, lots of things. We were just talking about stress. That's so funny.

Well, this prompt question says, have you ever been stressed? Well, darned.

Honey, when you stay stressed, you don't have to get stressed. No, the thing with, for me right now in my life and this year,
