How to Create Real Lasting Change

How to Create Real Lasting Change

Throughout June on The Stress Less Show, we’ve been focusing on all of the conversations, emotions, and events that have been unfolding in response to the recent protests and racial injustices happening every day in this country. And while in the last month, positive steps toward progress have been made in many industries, states, and communities to address the systemic racism in our country, this fight is not - and cannot be - merely a trend. The work that many of us may have begun for the first time in the last few weeks is only just getting started. That’s why today, I wanted to come on the show solo to talk about what I am doing in my own life to continue addressing racism and share my perspective and tips on how we can keep making real changes moving forward…

Do You Know Your Worth?

Do You Know Your Worth?

Knowing your worth is easier said than done. Many of us don't spend a lot of time thinking about our value to our loved ones, to our employers and the world overall. However, that value cannot be understated. The reality is we have so much to give to the world and one of the most important things we can do for ourselves is to recognize our worth and stand up for it. That is why I brought on the Stress Less Show this week Stephanie Heath, a job search consultant and career coach, to talk all about the importance of knowing our worth so that we can reclaim selfishness and put ourselves first.

Combat COVID-19 Stress With Creative Stress Reduction

Combat COVID-19 Stress With Creative Stress Reduction

Let's face it. We are living through some very stressful times right now. No matter who we are, where we live or what we do, COVID-19 has no doubt disrupted every area of our lives and the reality is that things probably aren’t going to feel normal for a while. Major disruptions in our lives can be a bit overwhelming, but when these disruptions happen on a global scale, fear, panic, and anxiety run rampant in our minds and our communities. As a stress management coach and expert, I spend a lot of time talking about the need for reducing stress in our lives, but now more than ever managing our stress is critical in making sure we are taking care of our health - mentally and physically…

Am I Afraid of Putting Myself First?

Am I Afraid of Putting Myself First?

Are you afraid of what would happen if you put yourself first? Last week on The Stress Less Show, I talked a little bit about reclaiming the word selfish and starting to put your needs first. If you saw that episode or read that blog post, I'm willing to bet there was a part of you that thought, “Sure, Carlee, that sounds great but I can't do that.” Putting our needs first, frankly for a lot of us, is scary because we are so used to putting ourselves last on our list. Well, enough is enough! We are facing that fear head-on because we deserve to take care of ourselves first. That is why I am so excited to have on the show this week Danielle Massi. Not only is Danielle the founder of The Wellness Collective and a holistic mental health therapist, but she is also my wonderful partner in crime and co-founder for a brand new transformative self-care conference called SELF(ish) Philly!

How to Start and Stick to Budgeting

How to Start and Stick to Budgeting

This week on the Stress-Less Show, we are talking about Budgeting. I know, your head may still be spinning from all the numbers you spent pouring over on tax day, but now is a perfect time to start crafting a budget that you can stick to so that tax season is a little less stressful. Money Mindset Expert and Certified CPA, Mala Dukhi of Wise Women Smart Money, is back on the show to talk all about how and why to start budgeting.

Let’s be honest: Budgeting is not most people’s idea of a good time. It requires taking a look at your bank accounts and debts and unfortunately, that makes it really easy for most of us to just avoid altogether. Mala noted that “Most people that I've talked to avoid looking at their numbers and the more you avoid the more anxiety and stress you're going to have. So…
