The Science of Stress in Modern Relationships with Dr. Amelia Nagoski & Christine Eartheart

Thriving Relationships Show

I had the absolute delight of sitting down with Dr. Amelia Nagoski, NY Times Bestselling book of​ "Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle." ​

Anyone in a relationship has undeniably discovered the negative impacts of stress, not only on our individual health (in mind, body, heart, and spirit) but also on the health of our connection (particularly if not managed well between us).

This is a must-listen to understand stress in a whole new way (that's backed by science) -- and how we can work together to counteract it.

In this episode, we talk about...

1:23 - The inspiration and personal story behind writing "Burnout"

6:30 - How to detect warning signs that stress is negatively impacting your health

11:12 - How to unlearn what we've been told stress looks like

12:00 - How stress appears in a romantic relationship

13:56 - Revelatory insights about the beginning, middle, and end of the stress cycle and how we often get stuck in the middle without completing it

18:59 - The keys to completing the stress cycle

28:38 - The pitfalls of trying to manage your stress externally

35:11 - Unachievable “reasonable expectations” and the layers of stress and stressors

44:55 - Amelia sings a little tune about unspoken agreements and expectations that contribute to burnout in a relationship
