What if everything you've been doing about stress is wrong?

Listen as author and recovering workaholic turned joy specialist, Amy Leneker, shares juicy gems from her latest book, Cheers to Monday. Amy hopes to help people looking for ways to reduce stress in their lives, especially with work, but I’d suggest for all areas of our lives. -- And the secret might surprise you. It isn’t either or, about having stress or having joy, it’s about the resilient dance between them. Amy encourages us to NOT delay joy until later, but rather based on the research invites us to bring interludes of joy into our lives and watch our stress go down.

"So for me, the big aha moment [in my research] was recognizing that joy is a wellness strategy, because when we feel joy, the scientific makeup of joy actually builds resilience. It builds a buffer to stress and burnout. ”
