Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or caught in an endless cycle of anxiety? In this episode, psychologist Dr. Jennifer Degler helps us untangle the difference between stress, anxiety, and simply being overbooked. We discuss how to identify what’s really draining you, practical steps to reclaim your time, and tools to stop worry spirals before they take over. If you’re ready to make yourself a priority and find balance, this episode is for you.


A personal note: Dr. Schuetz is currently navigating the immense stress of losing her home in a fire. Despite this, she wanted to make sure this episode—recorded prior to that event—still reaches you. She is deeply passionate about the importance of prioritizing mental health and hopes this conversation helps you find balance and peace in your own life. Please take care of yourself, and thank you for being a part of The Starting Gate community.
