The Hidden Way Stress Destroys What You Care About Most

249 - This is Part 3 of the Foundational Energy Reset Series, where we’re tackling the three core areas that either fuel your energy or quietly drain it away.

Today, we’re looking at how stress impacts the areas you value most — your relationships, your health, and your goals. Under pressure, it’s easy to lash out, withdraw, or make choices that actually damage what matters most to you.

  How to catch yourself before you spiral into choices that drain your health, relationship, or goals
