Discovering Your Energy Chupacabras and More About Stress!

El #Estres! On this episode of Tamarindo, Ana Sheila talks to us about what #stress is really.  We learn why stress is not ALL bad but why it’s also more harmful than we think. Chronic stress is actually linked to the 6 leading causes of death. Many of the stressors our communities face like financial or familial stress are not ones we can easily change without policy changes but Ana Sheila walks us through some of the things we CAN do to start changing our relationship with stress like changing our #mindset and discovering our #energychupacabras so that we can keep doing impactful work for our communities. We include a technique used by the stress management company @Baskandbeing. You can learn more about them here https://baskandbeing.com/ We also highlight Encantos, a 100% Latinx owned education entertainment company for families. We are running a book giveaway for their latest book @skeletitos so head to our instagram @tamarindopodcast to enter.
