Chapters

I love research. So I started, I really just got so curious because I started talking to other women and almost every woman that I knew was totally stressed out. The successful, high achieving women that I knew were totally stressed out. And I remember wanting like okay, I want to interview women who've had success without burnout and I couldn't find anybody. Literally like I know I knew nobody. And so one of the things started to do was to study wellness and well being. You know when you think about positive psychology with Dr. Martin Seligman BD like not only like 10 years ago before in psychology they only studied disease, right? And then he introduced the concept of positive psychology. What can we do? Not just how do we combat disease. And so I started studying stress and stress response and how do we get out of stress. And I brought together neuroscience and psychology and spirituality. And so I started living and practicing this methodology which I now teach.
