Dealing fear and stress triggers in the wake of 3 hurricanes and the Las Vegas Shooting.
Television coverage is designed to enagage the viewer and can trigger unwelcome emotions, stress and fear.
I understand those triggers and watching the coverage of three hurricanes and the shooting last night in Las Vegas brings back a cold, naked feeling, when the world seemed scary and my ability to deny it is gone.
My sense of denial, the thing all of us need to get up and leave the house everyday was damaged when I had a massive heart attack at age 35 while pregnant with twins. In a matter of minutes, my world view changed. The wor...

Chaos In My Home Office: Women ’s Stress Management
How do you stay productive and manage stress when your office is in chaos?
A home office has its challenges:
Interruptions are frequent. Work hours are fluid. The line between work and home is blurred.
Working next to a construction site… well, that is my life and work for the next eight weeks.

How To Recover From Stress
Are you an iguana or a border collie?
Recently my husband and I spent a glorious ten days on vacation in Mexico in celebration of his 50th birthday. We traveled with five other adults to a resort which caters to scuba divers. I don’t dive, but Clay is enthusiastic about the sport, as were our fellow travelers. This interaction led to some fascinating insight on stress and relaxation.
When not diving, most of our group spent time lounging by the pool, with the iguanas (yes, actual iguanas). Being fair skinned, I spent some enjoyable time by the pool, in the shade, reading. I did not, however, have the staying power ...

Is the pain heartburn or a heart attack?
How can you tell the difference between a sharp, burning sensation in your chest caused by the pizza you just ate or a sign of something more serious?

Here are 7 ways to tell the difference between heartburn and a heart attack:

Is Work Life Balance A Myth?
Initial Results From The Study On Job Stress
We’ve all heard work life balance is the key to stress management, but is it true? Our study on job stress shows some interesting results.
Work life balance is based on a few assumptions:
The binary push and pull relationship between work and home is the main reason for women’s job stress
Women are the only ones who experience this issue
Women without children at home are less stressed
Is that true?
According to the more than 1000 people who participated in our study, no.
Men and women reported an equal amount of job stress
