Listen "Stress Isn’t The Enemy, It’s Your Sign to Start | Gentle Changes with Jacki Volden Russell"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of The Complete Woman, holistic lifestyle coach Jacki Volden Russell invites us to see stress not as an enemy, but as a message from the body asking for care. Together with Tori, she explores how gentle shifts—like eating within 30 minutes of waking, morning sunlight, and magnesium support—can rewire our nervous system for calm. This is your reminder that healing doesn’t have to be hard. It starts with listening.
