In today's episode, I sit down with stress expert and author Richard Sutton to unpack the truth about stress - what it actually is, why we misunderstand it, and how our perception of stress can radically shape the way our mind and body respond to difficult situations. We explore the difference between healthy stress and chronic stress, why prolonged overwhelm takes such a toll on us, and how living in a constantly stimulated digital world impacts our nervous systems.

Most importantly, this conversation is filled with practical, real-life tools for navigating stress in different moments of life - whether you’re dealing with acute overwhelm in the moment or long-term chronic stress. A powerful and deeply relevant conversation for any young woman trying to stay grounded, strong, and emotionally healthy in today’s world.

I would love to hear from you!

Shua is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Co- host of the Jewish Teens Talk Podcast

In this episode, Shua and I dive into the reality of being a frum young woman in today’s internet age - the opportunities, the challenges, and the exposure that comes with it.

We address the question of whether it is actually possible to find a healthy balance with social media, movies, and TV, and how to navigate this space while staying aligned with your values.

We explore the feeling of being “stained,” after seeing inappropriate content, and the tension of not being ready to completely cut yourself off from the internet, while also not wanting to be a passive consumer of whatever shows up on your screen.

Most importantly, we talk about how to reconcile that space in a real, grounded, and growth-oriented way.

This is an honest, nuanced conversation about raising your standards, understanding yourself, and building a relationship with media that actually reflects who you want to be.
