[JJ Virgin]( Think about a time when you had a big presentation or made a life-changing decision. That short-term stress probably made you more effective and bolstered your resilience in those situations. The truth is a little bit of stress can keep you on your toes and at your best. But the stress response should do its job and chill out. When it stays âonâ past its prime, those short-term benefits quickly become long-term problems.

In this weekâs blog, I share my tried-and-true ways to [manage stress and age powerfully](. Youâll also learn how to [release stored trauma](, and Iâll leave you with a delicious, chocolatey [stress-melting smoothie](.
