We know stress literally kills. We KNOW it takes a toll. And yet we keep magically hoping for a fix – or maybe, a pill.

Stress statistics:

83% of U.S. workers suffer from work-related stress [Zippia, 2023]
Stress-related illnesses cost U.S. businesses up to $300 billion annually [The World Health Organization via Inc., 2018]

We are not helpless!
