Today Celeste and Laurin bring you simple tips you can use to manage your stress and ditch the overwhelm. You’ll hear about identifying and avoiding triggers, why you need someone on your speed dial for rough patches, and how routines can be the game-changer you’re looking for. Whether it’s bad circumstances or your to-do list stressing you out, implementing these strategies are the first steps in releasing the pressure.  “If you can’t find something to be excited about every day, [you need to] reevaluate what you’re doing. No one is 100% stuck.”  -Celeste Bonin    Subscribe to iTunes, TuneIn, or Stitcher Radio! Love the podcast?
