How to Stop Feeling Overwhelmed Live Class: https://michellegauthier.mykajabi.com/offers/gAtYyHen/checkout

What if you could be around someone who is stressed, frantic, or in a terrible mood without letting their emotions become yours?

It’s easy to believe you’ll finally feel calm once everything around you settles down. But life is always going to be a little wild—and other people’s moods, stress, and energy are outside your control.

In this episode, Michelle Gauthier talks with therapist MJ Murray Vachon about how to cultivate calm within yourself so you can stay grounded even when someone else is anything but calm. You’ll learn why emotions are contagious, how small everyday practices can prepare your body to stay calm under stress, and how to stop carrying difficult interactions with you long after they’re over.

By listening, you will:

• Learn simple ways to practice calm during ordinary moments so it becomes easier to access when life gets stressful.
• Discover how to keep someone else’s frantic or negative energy from sticking to you.
• Develop a mindset that helps you respond calmly instead of snapping, getting overwhelmed, or replaying stressful interactions later.

Press play to learn how to make calm your baseline so someone else’s bad mood doesn’t have to become yours.
