Talking about 'we can do hard things'.

This year, both Becki and Fay have done some 'hard things' and it's good to recognise what we can actually do because we don't always give ourselves the credit.

What are you doing that's a 'hard thing'? How are you coping, managing, getting on with it? Do you believe you can do these hard things?

It's important to remember that we don't know what's going on for other people - and what hard things they're dealing with at any time - and so remembering to show people some grace if it's needed.

Are you having a break for the summer? Or are you powering through?

In this episode, Fay and Becki are talking about their summer plans which seem to be a mix of work and a much looked forward to break.

We talk about the science behind why it's good to have a break and how this can re-energise us - and this led to a bit of a chat about sleep and how we both have and do use sleep for that energising factor.

Is stress real or do people create their stress?

Perhaps a better questions is to ask what stress means to those involved if we're talking about their stress because people will have different tolerances to stressful situations.

Becki talks about two different types of stress:

Eustress is challenging but manageable and leads to growth
Distress is difficult and has a negative outcome.
