There is no such thing as a life free of stress! But not all stress has to be bad.
A wedding, a birth, a promotion, a move or any number of exciting things can cause stress. But can your body tell the difference between good and bad stress?
In today's episode Erica and Dr. Barr discuss how good stress is in fact good, yet it can also be something that happens before a major panic attack.
Sounds confusing right? Don't worry, we have a licensed clinical therapist who is going to break it all down for you!

Did you know there's a proper way to grieve? Author, radio host, and counselor Gina Pastore speaks from her own experience in this episode. If you didn't hear Part One of the conversation with Gina you can find that in last week's episode (Episode 50).
Gina also shares tips on how she was able to get over the hump of her deepest, darkest grief after she suddenly lost her beloved husband eight years ago.
You'll hear all of this discussed from a time sensitive perspective as we know grief feels even more devastating this year as many are forced to isolate.
Be sure to listen to part one of this interview posted last week before you listen to this one to hear Frank and Gina's hilarious and beautiful love story and their time in Major League Baseball!
Merry Christmas!

Exactly eight years ago, former major league baseball player and radio host Frank Pastore passed away in a motorcycle accident while driving home from work. Frank who played in the major leagues in the late 1980s, was at the time considered to be one of the best pitchers in the entire MLB.
After his career ended, Frank went on to later become a drive time radio show host in Los Angeles, on 99.5 KKLA where he discussed current topics, politics, and theology. His show came on right after Erica's... which is how they met!
After Frank's untimely passing, his wife Gina, who married Frank at sixteen years old (yes 16!) was left to pick up her shattered pieces and start a new life as a widow.
In this part 1 episode, Gina shares about her and Frank's wild elopement, their time in the major leagues, and how she's more surprised than anyone that she has managed to get through the loss of her amazing husband.
We also play you a clip of the absolutely stunning thing Frank said on the air hours before his life would end... describing EXACTLY the scenario that lead to his fatal accident that same evening!
If you've lost someone this year or are grieving in any way, this episode is for you.
This holiday season, we hope you will remember that...
You are NOT alone.
You are NOT broken.
You are on your way to a life FREE of anxiety!

Sleep deprivation, plowing through mud, climbing treacherous mountains… They certainly don’t call it The World’s Toughest Race for nothing!
In this episode, I (Erica) talk to my friend Heather Flebbe about her time competing in the World’s Toughest Race, also known as Eco-Challenge Fiji,* and how she was able to overcome some pretty intense situations!
Heather shares how two of her teammates on Team Super Fighters overcame cancer before the race (one being her husband) and the physical limitations they not only endured, but overcame.
You may never plan to race in the jungles of Fiji, but you will have to face your fears! Let Heather show you why you are tougher than you think.

“Anybody can become angry - that is easy. But to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.” -Aristotle
What an incredible quote. Aristotle knew his stuff!
Seriously, take a second and read that quote again. Wow, right? Now throw your anxiety into the mix…yeesh…
But the funny thing is, these two symptoms are far more connected than you might know.
That’s why licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Barr and I covered this incredibly important topic over the course of two episodes (if you haven't listened to Episode 36, I recommend you go back and give it a listen!)
In these episodes we discuss specific reasons anxious people are typically angry, including reasons why I was angry when I was feeling stuck in my anxiety. We also cover what a “slush fund” of anger is, and how to know if you have one.
Dr. Barr explains your body’s connection to anger and anxiety and the signals you can look out for.
Most importantly, we give you some incredibly useful tools to start managing your anger today!

Anger. Some people avoid ever even muttering the word.
Anger can cause shame. It can cause damage to others. We can end up doing or saying things we really regret when are angry.
And still…
We ALL have it.
Interestingly enough, us sensitive/anxious people have an especially complex relationship with the emotion for all kinds of different reasons.
In this episode, Erica and licensed clinical psychologist and anxiety specialist Dr. Charles Barr discuss common reasons anxious people have anger. Dr. Barr also explains your body's connection to anger and anxiety and the signals you can look out for.
Lots of great info ahead in this first episode in a two part series on the topic of anger.
