About this listen

Stress is real, snacks are life, and sleep… well, sometimes it’s just a rumor. In this episode of Hot Mess Help Desk, Mya and Lainie break down what stress actually does to your brain and body (spoiler: it’s not just in your head), why pulling all-nighters and living off energy drinks backfires, and how small things like water, naps, or texting a friend can make a big difference.

From exam pressure to money stress, we’re covering it all — plus myth-busting the idea that you just have to “push through” until finals. Grab your stress toolkit and learn how to hit reset (even if it’s just for two minutes).

Takeaway: Stress is normal. Burnout doesn’t have to be. And yes, snacks totally count as coping.
