10 Signs Your Stress Is Out of Control–And What You Can Do About It

March 23, 2022 //  by Christy

I get slightly amused/slightly annoyed when people say to me, “Oh, you’re a yoga teacher? That must be sooo relaxing!” I laugh good-naturedly and remind that I’m actually the CEO (Chief Everything Officer) of my own small business.
