In this energising episode I sit down with the fabulous Cat Merrick to explore the science and soul of stress relief. Cat shares her journey from dance teacher to creator of Stress 101 and the Vibrant Revival Method, revealing how chronic stress impacted her health and inspired her mission to help women reclaim calm, clarity and self-leadership through embodied tools.

We dive deep into what really happens in the body when we’re stressed, how to spot the difference between healthy and chronic stress and why movement, mindfulness and laughter are essential for shifting energy and restoring joy.

Expect honest talk about self-leadership, practical tips for breaking free from stress spirals and a powerful reminder that joy isn’t just a luxury…it’s a tool for thriving. If you’re ready to feel more vibrant, resilient and connected (even through the challenging times) this episode is for you!
