Feeling overwhelmed? Learn how to manage stress and tap into your flow state—fast.

In this episode of The Flow Habit® podcast, Laurie dives into the "Blame, Shame, Name Game"—three common (and sneaky) habits we fall into when we're stressed. She’ll walk you through what these reactions look like and how to shift into a more empowering mindset.

You’ll learn:

• How to break free from negative stress loops

• Why playfulness is a powerful tool for stress relief
