Podcast Episode 288: 4 Flawless Strategies for Managing Stress and Revitalizing Your Relationships with Elizabeth Earnshaw, LMFT

Ever had this happen: You’re lounging on the couch after an incredibly long day, binge-watching your favorite series, when your partner calls out from the kitchen… Hey hon…have you seen my keys?

Your body tenses, palms get sweaty, and before you know it, you’re in a full-blown stress spiral over…keys. 

Yes, keys. 

Welcome to the body’s stress response, where even the most mundane requests can feel like a high-stakes interrogation. It can make even the thought of managing stress seem impossible.

Recognizing stress signals and managing stress in relationships is like decoding Morse code—but instead of dots and dashes, you’re dealing with sighs and eye rolls. Is his left eyebrow twitching? Am I suddenly craving chocolate like a contestant on “Survivor”? These are your body’s not-so-subtle ways of saying, “Hey, something’s off here!”

But here’s the kicker—understanding these stress signals can transform your relational dynamics and give you a major leg up on managing your stress. Think of it as turning your relationship into a finely tuned, stress-busting machine. So, let’s break it down in this fantastic podcast episode with our amazing guest, Elizabeth Earnshaw, LMFT. Elizabeth is a renowned Gottman therapist, founder, Clinical Fellow, and author of I Want This to Work and her upcoming Til Stress Do Us Part (due out September 10, 2024). 

Let’s to dive into the wild world of understanding your body’s stress signals, how they can turn your relationship dynamics upside down, and make managing stress a snap. So grab your magnifying glasses, because we’re about to embark on a journey where Sherlock Holmes meets Dr. Phil!

In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:

  • Understanding your body’s stress, which can transform your relational dynamics.
  • Recognizing stress signals in relationships so that conflicts and misunderstandings can be prevented early.

Not more than 2 seconds after they hop in the car, the screaming begins.

“No, that’s not what happened Erik. My lunch is at 11:35am, not 11:30.”

I brace myself.

“NO SISSY! YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT”

And then, WHAP!
