Is Stress Even Real? The Truth Nobody Told You – with Dr. Gary Sprouse

Send us a text

What if stress isn’t some invisible force attacking you… but a pattern your body learned when you were still too young to name it?

 A response to chaos. A way to survive.
 A signal that said: “Be perfect, or you won’t be loved.”

In this cinematic and soul-deep conversation, I sit down with Dr. Gary Sprouse — a retired physician with 40 years of experience, a healing heart, and a truth-telling voice that cuts through the noise.

We unravel:

• The misunderstood roots of stress — and why it starts before we can even speak
• How to finally feel enough without earning, proving, or pushing
• The connection between guilt, stress, and your inner child
• How Dr. Gary’s “shoebox method” can help you process memories you buried
• A 5-minute tool to begin rebuilding your self-esteem today
• The magic that happens when you stop carrying everyone else’s weight

This isn’t a lecture. It’s a reclamation.

Of your peace. Your identity. Your right to feel soft, steady, and whole.

So if you’ve ever laid in bed at 2 AM wondering what’s wrong with you…

•  If your nervous system is tired from pretending to be okay…
• If you're finally ready to stop performing and start feeling…

This episode will meet you where you are — and walk you somewhere lighter.

You don’t need to fight your stress anymore.
 You just need to meet the part of you that learned it — and show her a new way.

If this moved you, send it to a friend who’s still carrying too much.
