"Stress Is Trying to Save You" — Alice Law on Burnout, the Brain, and Learning to Listen

In this episode of What They Don't Tell Us, I sit down with Alice Law, stress expert, coach, and co-author of Unstressable.

We start with the numbers, and honestly, they're hard to ignore. 70 to 90% of all doctor visits in the US are stress related. 74% of Brits are stressed. And those stats are only going in one direction.

But this conversation goes well beyond the statistics. Alice breaks down why we've become addicted to busyness, how the brain is wired to look for threats whether we want it to or not, and why calm can actually feel unsafe to a nervous system that's been running on overdrive for too long.

We get into the four types of stress, the four languages your body uses to signal it, and the tools that actually work when you're too overwhelmed for meditation and gratitude. We also talk about trauma, whether it's worth reopening old wounds, and why the average person can only name 3 out of 87 available emotions.

Stress was never the enemy. It's a signal. And once you understand what it's trying to tell you, everything changes.
