For the third year in a row, I'm hosting a conversation with John, who I have shared life with in marriage for 22 years. We have two college-age kiddos who have just finished their freshman year and one rising high school junior. Professionally, John runs a local community funded nonprofit called Grace Discipleship, where he serves as a spiritual director providing soul care and discipleship for the next generation. John has been a steady listening presence for several decades here in our hometown of Greensboro, North Carolina, and he regularly meets with teenagers, college students, couples and ministry workers to hold prayerful space for them to discern what God might be up to in and around them. Today I'm glad to sit down with John again to answer some of the questions you tossed our way about the first years of marriage, the role spiritual direction plays in our life and work, and how we're faring as nearly-there empty-nesters. Listen in.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the "Overcome Yourself" podcast, Nicole interviews John Freeman, also known as the Stress Buster. John specializes in helping ambitious women eliminate stress and thrive in any situation. He shares his personal journey of struggling with stress and the lack of support, which led him to become a coach and provide the support he never had. John emphasizes the importance of simplicity, efficiency, and shortcuts in dealing with stress. He highlights the need to dissipate stress chemicals before attempting to cope with stressful situations and discusses the negative cycle of stress addiction. John also discusses the significance of gratitude and practicing positive habits in overcoming stress. Key Points: John Freeman, the Stress Buster, helps ambitious women ditch stress and thrive. He simplifies life and eliminates complications, drawing from his personal experience of stress and lack of support. John's motivation stems from watching his mother struggle after his father's death and his desire to help women avoid similar struggles. He emphasizes the need to get rid of stress rather than coping with it and focuses on dissipating stress chemicals. Stress hinders coping abilities, and the conscious mind is not designed to solve problems during the fight or flight response. John promotes shortcuts, efficiency, and simplicity in managing stress. He mentions the importance of knowing what we want and taking one step at a time towards our goals. The discussion differentiates between good stress (eustress) and harmful stress. John highlights the exhausting nature of constant stress and the self-perpetuating stress cycle. Gratitude is a crucial practice in managing stress and creating positive feelings. Practicing positive habits and stacking them is essential for creating a positive and stress-free life.
