Hotz Thoughts on Stress, Dress and Social Prescribing for Wellness (with guest Julia Hotz)

Julia Hotz is author of 'The Connection Cure' and joins Dahlia for a conversation to look at the link between stress, identity and mindset. Julia has challenged the traditional question 'What's the matter with you?' and turned it on its head to ask 'What matters to you?' to identify how social prescribing can contribute to a less stressed more well dressed mindset. Dahlia and Julia discuss how getting really clear on what matters to you, getting in control and social prescriptions of nature, art, movement and even belonging can reduce your stress. Julia's book has been recognised in the list of 'The Next Big Idea Club' June 2024 reading list curated by Adam Grant, Daniel Pink, Susan Cain and Michael Gladwell.
