Are you exhausted by superficial stress tips that don’t deliver? In this solo episode of Motherhood Unstressed, I'm sharing the latest evidence-based strategies for stress management, offering real-life tools grounded in recent scientific research. Learn how to ease overwhelm without sacrificial self-care rituals or hours of free time.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• The cyclic sighing breathwork technique—shown by Stanford Medicine researchers to reduce anxiety faster and more effectively than meditation

• How just 20 minutes in nature significantly lowers salivary cortisol and improves heart-rate variability, based on a meta-analysis of 31 studies and nearly 2,000 participants

• Why magnesium glycinate supplementation may help restore sleep, balance cortisol, and reduce burnout in moms (clinical trials in 2025 show promising results)

• The importance of co‑regulation in healing: how connection—even for a few minutes—aligns your nervous system through Polyvagal Theory

• Quick, doable takeaways you can apply today—no retreats or fancy tools required

Whether you’re juggling parenting, work, or just trying to keep the peace, this episode offers grounded, science‑driven mindfulness that honors your everyday life—and reminds you: you are not alone.
