QUESTIONS I ASK ELLEN IN THE EPISODE:

Can you start off by telling us a bit about your background? (Specifically, what led you to want to help people manage stress?)
Does "managing stress" really just boil down to "building resilience"? Should we be working on the latter more than the former?
What are some of the most common misconceptions about stress?
Are certain types of people (like “high achievers”) more likely to get stressed out than others?
What are some common things people turn to in their attempts to “manage” stress that don't work well?
On your website, you mention that it's important to "prevent stress before it happens AND manage the effects of stress after it happens." I feel like that first part isn't talked about enough! Can you offer some stress prevention tools?
If work is a primary stressor for someone, do you have any suggestions for setting better boundaries and reducing work stress? What about with family?
