The Science of Stress & How it Impacts Relationships

With Dr. Amelia Nagoski

NY Times Bestselling Author of "Burnout"

Join us now on:

Our Guest: Dr. Amelia Nagoski

NY Times Bestselling Author of "Burnout"

I had the absolute delight of sitting down with Dr. Amelia Nagoski, NY Times Bestselling book of “Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle.”

Anyone in a relationship has undeniably discovered the negative impacts of stress, not only on our individual health (in mind, body, heart, and spirit) but also on the health of our connection (particularly if not managed well between us). 

This is a must-listen to understand stress in a whole new way (that’s backed by science) — and how we can work together to counteract it.

In this episode, we talk about…

1:23 – The inspiration and personal story behind writing “Burnout” 

6:30 – How to detect warning signs that stress is negatively impacting your health

11:12 – How to unlearn what we’ve been told stress looks like

12:00 – How stress appears in a romantic relationship

13:56 – Revelatory insights about the beginning, middle, and end of the stress cycle and how we often get stuck in the middle without completing it

18:59 – The keys to completing the stress cycle

28:38 – The pitfalls of trying to manage your stress externally

35:11 – Unachievable “reasonable expectations” and the layers of stress and stressors

44:55 – Amelia sings a little tune about unspoken agreements and expectations that contribute to burnout in a relationship

50:00 – How self care is not a solo practice and how to support your partner from experiencing burnout

55:00 – What a “thriving relationship” means to Amelia

I quickly realized how much value you had packed into the sessions, and you exceeded every expectation on every level. Our relationship has benefited, as has my relationship with our adult children and grandchildren. Bret and Christine have hearts of pure gold....and the love they extend into the world is having its effect and now we all can catch that beautiful energy and multiply it out even further. Your support of all of us is exceptional.

I love catching the contagious, authentic positivity and love that Bret and Christine give out. Christine and Bret really encourage us to find and celebrate the gifts we each have within us, so we can all emerge as our very different and amazing selves. We pick up so much misinformation from our upbringings, our education and our culture that we really need this... The tools I have learned have turned around decades of old patterns for me and my partner.

Christine and Bret are both so thoughtful, bright, and informed. They then temper that knowledge with a compassion so tangible that it often breaks my heart or hits me over the head with ‘Yeah, that right there.’ Thanks for bringing me along with you.
