   50. The Truth About Stress: What to Do When Life Feels Overwhelming w/ Richard Sutton

   Richard Sutton is the founder of The Performance Code and Director of SuttonHealth. He works with listed companies, executive teams, and entrepreneurs to build resilience and performance in demanding environments. He led performance strategy for a winning Olympic team, advised former world No. 1 tennis players, Olympic champions, and Springbok rugby captains, and lectured in postgraduate health sciences for 15 years. A best-selling author of Stressproof, The Stress Code, Thrive, and Shift Happens (2025), Richard also pioneered the world’s first genetic panel for sustainable performance and created The Stress Code app to measure resilience in business. In today's episode, I sit down with stress expert and author Richard Sutton to unpack the truth about stress - what it actually is, why we misunderstand it, and how our perception of stress can radically shape the way our mind and body respond to difficult situations. We explore the difference between healthy stress and chronic stress, why prolonged overwhelm takes such a toll on us, and how living in a constantly stimulated digital world impacts our nervous systems. Most importantly, this conversation is filled with practical, real-life tools for navigating stress in different moments of life - whether you’re dealing with acute overwhelm in the moment or long-term chronic stress. A powerful and deeply relevant conversation for any young woman trying to stay grounded, strong, and emotionally healthy in today’s world. I would love to hear from you!
