Stress is more than just feeling overwhelmed—it’s the accumulation of unprocessed emotions, constant digital stimulation, and the weight of uncertainty that we carry every day. In this episode of Heal with EQ, we explore the reality of stress in today’s world and why managing it effectively is essential for your well-being and decision-making.

We’ll break down:

- Why modern stress is different from what our ancestors faced

- How emotional carryover affects your daily interactions and choices

- Three essential tools from the Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Toolkit—Flexibility, Stress Tolerance, and Optimism—that help you navigate pressure without feeling consumed by it.

This isn’t about eliminating stress—it’s about learning to manage it in a way that supports your growth, resilience, and ability to lead with clarity in both your personal and professional life.
