Welcome to Season 3 of Stress Mess: Laughing Through Trauma!
This season we're diving back in with heart, humor, and honesty, while naming the stressors that have been creeping in under the radar.
In this premiere episode, we explore the invisible pressures that fuel chronic stress and trauma but are often overlooked because they’ve become normalized. From the mental load of daily life (think planning meals, scheduling appointments, remembering everything) to social masking, caregiving burnout, and health anxiety, we uncover how these subtle, everyday experiences keep our minds and bodies stuck in survival mode.
Host, Katie O'Leary, breaks it all down with compassion and real talk; plus some surprise office visits from a sweet little voice in the background!
If you've ever felt like you're "on" all the time, carrying a weight no one sees, or wondering why you're so tired despite “nothing major” happening... this one’s for you.
Let us know what resonates, and get ready for a season filled with validating conversations, expert guests, and a whole lot of stress-busting insight. Send a DM to @katieostresscoaching
