Stress Transformed Into Freedom And Flow

What is stress...And are you ready to transform it?

Business leadership and life itself requires creativity, resiliency, emotional intelligence , mental agility, authenticity, and a willingness to learn what to do even when you don't know what to do.

With the fast pace of today's world and the stress that comes with it, it is easy to get stuck in the old patterns that leave you feeling drained and unfulfilled. These patterns are habitual and can feel hard to break.

What is stress?
It is the response to challenging or threatening situations that causes tension mentally and physically. Common causes are career or life changes, however, common everyday occurrences like traffic jams or dealing with rude people can cause stress. 

Stress is brought on by unmet expectations and unexpected events. For example, you expect your child to go onto college and they want to do something else. Maybe you have a loved one have a sudden health crisis, or supply chain issues cause delays in completing a project. Among the top topics causing stress are economics, politics, money, relationships, toxic work environments, and poor nutrition.


Are you experiencing any symptoms of stress?

  • Increased heart rate, chest pain.
  • Stomach pain, nausea, heart burn, diarrhea, or constipation.
  • Shortness of breath or rapid breathing.
  • Muscle aches, tension or trembling.
  • Sweating, sweaty palms.
  • Difficulty sleeping.
  • Headaches or dizziness.
  • Tingling in hands, pins and needles, dry mouth.
  • Excessive worry.
  • Fatigue much of the time.
  • Overwhelm / trouble focusing.


Stress impacts us physically, mentally and emotionally. If left unchecked, can go on to cause health problems, burn out and mental health challenges.


Stress and mental health challenges are costing the global economy $1 trillion in lost productivity every year.


In working with business owners over two decades, I can say that I am seeing more and more stress in them after Covid. I hate to even use the word and this is my observation.


I recall working with a business owner experiencing stress to the point of being put on medication for stomach problems when he decided to get some support at the suggestion of his doctor. We began with assessing just what was going on that was driving the stress. There were a lot of changes happening both personally and professionally along with ongoing long-term relationship issues. All of this was causing him to live against the truth of who he knew himself to be. He had been trying to avoid conflict in life, living in beliefs of limitation and found himself holding a lot of frustration.


Over a short period of time, we worked on stress management and relaxation tools, reframing dynamics in his life and re-establishing boundaries which led to him getting off of the medication for stomach issues, resolving the dynamics in life and business and finding peace with new decisions leading to new found freedom. 


An article published by Harvard Business Review stated that a $4 return to the econonomy happens for every dollar invested in mental health. That is great ROI!


If you are feeling some stress right now or feeling out of alignment with the truth of who you are and ready to purge old patterns of stress and limitation - you are positioned for release and renewal.
