This week's episode guest is Jessica Harrington who received her Master's in Public Health at West Chester University. She is the owner of Journey to Yourself, is a speaker, and stress management health educator. Through her career and education, she realized that we all have a common issue—everyone, at some point or another, struggles with handling stress. This realization led her to create Journey to Yourself.
Stress is as much a part of our experience as breathing and yet, when we feel stressed, we feel out of control.
In this episode, we will discuss how we can create a healthier relationship with ourselves that would allow us to accept, rather than resist, what is happening around us. During our time together, Jess and I talk about the importance of:
- Knowing and expressing what we truly want
- Setting standards and boundaries for oneself
- Taking time for oneself to recharge and reflect
- Practicing small self-care activities as a form of stress management
- Effectively communicating our needs and desires to others
- Prioritizing self-awareness, self-care, and healthy boundaries for happiness and stress management
Do yourself a favor and listen to this episode to begin your journey towards a happier, less-stressed life!
