In this episode, I sit down with Rachel Posner—yoga therapist and mindfulness coach—for a powerful conversation on the mind-body connection and how stress shows up in our lives. We explore why perfectionism keeps so many of us stuck, how to get to the root cause of stress, and simple strategies to regulate cortisol levels and calm your nervous system.
