🤟🏼 Free Newsletter & the Chase Club === What: We discuss the impact of stress on parenting and how societal expectations, technology usage, and self-comparison can exacerbate stress levels in parents. Why: Understanding and managing stress is crucial for maintaining a healthy family environment, as parental stress can significantly influence children's mental and emotional well-being. How: 🌱 Focus on creating a relaxed and caring home environment to reduce stress. 📵 Limit screen time to reclaim time for healthier activities like exercise and nature walks. 🧘‍♀️ Practice gratitude by appreciating current achievements rather than comparing to others. 📚 Engage in activities that promote relaxation and stress relief, such as reading and good conversations. 💪 Resist short-term temptations that can lead to long-term stress, like excessive reliance on technology for childcare. === 👋 THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS 🔗 LUMEN | This handheld metabolic coach measures your metabolism through breath analysis, providing personalized nutrition plans and real-time insights to improve metabolic health, aid weight management, enhance energy levels, and support better sleep and overall well-being. 🔗 LMNT | This zero-sugar electrolyte mix delivers essential sodium, potassium, and magnesium to enhance hydration, making it ideal for athletes, keto followers, and anyone seeking a refreshing boost without added sugars, all while providing a risk-free satisfaction guarantee. === ❤️‍🔥 ABOUT THE SHOW We answer listener questions about health, fitness, fulfillment, and what it takes to chase what truly matters.
