They acknowledge the normalcy of stress and the anxieties that come with trying something new. Dr. Vic emphasizes the importance of recognizing stress as a growth opportunity and adopting a stress mindset.  They also highlight the lack of tools and education individuals receive to effectively deal with stress.
