Life has a tendency to throw us curve balls. One minute things are fine, the next minute the crap hits the fan. What do we do? How do we handle the hiccups that come our way? How exactly do we cope with the crappy stuff of life?

On this Season 3 podcast kickoff, I’m chatting with a special guest. Maybe you’ve seen her on The Today Show, The Doctors, The Steve Harvey Show and more, or on my favorite, on Investigation Discovery channel where she co-hosts the show, Fatal Vows. She’s licensed psychotherapist, author, relationship expert and media personality Stacy Kaiser. I’m very excited about this episode where we chat about coping, good and bad coping skills and more.

On The Show . . .

On the show, Stacy and I talk about:

• What coping is, and the various coping behaviors.
• Productive coping behaviors versus unproductive coping behaviors, how to spot it and tips for managing it.
• Stress and coping.
• Practicing the pause.
• The impact coping can have on your life – physically and emotionally (particularly when living with a medical condition, like Overactive Bladder).
• Turning to Dr. Google.
• The emotional effect of coping.
• How people may not consciously recognize how coping can be affecting their sense of self, their daily life, their joy.
