You’re Not a Machine: Rethink Productivity and Build Real Resilience
In this episode of The Happy Stack Podcast, Terri-Ann Richards dives deep into the myth of non-stop hustle and what it really takes to build sustainable resilience.
If you've ever felt like you're running on empty, snapping at loved ones, or drowning in brain fog, this episode is your reset button.
Terri-Ann breaks down the science behind stress, how it hijacks our ability to think clearly, and the simple, research-backed practices that can bring you back to clarity, focus, and strength.
It's time to stop treating yourself like a machine—and start leading like a human.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Resilience isn’t a personality trait—it’s a daily practice
Chronic stress hijacks your brain’s decision-making power
Micro-habits like movement, nature, and mindfulness can reduce cortisol and improve clarity
Your environment—both physical and social—shapes your mental health
Sleep is not a luxury; it’s essential for cognitive reset and emotional regulation
Reframing your inner dialogue shifts how your brain and body respond to stress
