Overcoming Stress and Anxiety: Practical Tips for High Achieving Women: A Conversation with Megan Devito
In this episode of the Journey to Joy podcast, host Moyra Gorski welcomes a special guest who coaches high-achieving women on managing stress and anxiety. Megan DeVito. You can find her here.
Moyra shares her personal experiences as a retired nurse, entrepreneur, and mom, emphasizing the importance of finding joy amidst life's chaos. The conversation explores how a single moment can lead to significant changes, and the duo discusses inspiring stories of overcoming challenges.
We also discussed the impact of the pandemic on anxiety levels and the importance of having tools to manage stress. Megan shared practical tips, such as grounding techniques and the power of exhaling fully to reset the nervous system. She highlighted that while it's natural to feel anxious, it's crucial to find what works best for you to manage those feelings.
Towards the end of our conversation, we touched on the importance of accepting and feeling our emotions, whether it's anxiety, grief, or sadness. I shared my personal experience with grief after losing my father and how it's okay to feel those emotions deeply.
This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice for anyone struggling with anxiety or looking to find more joy in their life. I'm grateful to Megan for sharing her story and expertise with us.
