In this episode, Annie was pleased to be joined by the author of The Upside of Stress, Dr. McGonigal. She has been embracing stress in a way that our culture shies away from.

Tune in to hear all about society’s false belief around stress and what truly happens to our bodies when we feel stressed out. Plus, Annie and Dr. McGonigal discuss what healthy vs unhealthy coping mechanisms are and why alcohol is no longer a part of either of their lives.
