Stress is a natural part of life — bills, work, relationships, health, and everything in between. A little pressure can actually be a good thing, helping us rise to challenges, stay motivated, and grow. But when it starts to feel constant, overwhelming, or like it's running the show? That’s when stress becomes a real threat to our mental and physical health.

April is Stress Awareness Month, a time to pause, reflect, and find better ways to cope. This year’s theme, #LeadWithLove, encourages us to treat ourselves and others with compassion, even in the most trying moments. So, in honour of that, we're sharing a fantastic stress themed episode from The Happier Life Project archives.

In this Ask the Expert special, we put your stress-related questions — sent in via email and social media — to Dr Bernadette Dancy, a stress management specialist, coach, and corporate speaker. With years of experience helping people navigate stress and burnout, Dr Bernadette shares practical mindset shifts and lifestyle tools that dig deeper than the usual “just take a bath” advice.

Stress can manifest and present in all kinds of ways, which your questions really demonstrate — from stress eating, to burnout at work, a stressed-out partner, to fertility issues… we’ve got you covered.
Whether you're feeling a little frazzled or on the edge of burnout, this episode is packed with empowering guidance to help you take back control and lead a calmer, more balanced life. You're not alone — and you don’t have to just “deal with it.” Let’s dive back in.
