What common stressors do people face in daily life?
Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast. I'm just going to take a wild guess and assume you feel exactly like I do right now. You're overwhelmed. You're thinking about all the things that you need to get done. You're worried about someone in your family. You feel this constant pressure at work. Every day, the things that pop up that you have to deal with are endless. Plus, you're carrying what feels like the weight of the world with you because the headlines are horrible and you have no idea what to do about the problems you see in the world. I feel the exact same way. So I reached out to one of the world's leading medical experts on stress and resilience to give us both advice on what to do at a moment like this.
And she's gonna tell both of us, whatever is going on right now, you can handle it. Things will get better. You're not gonna go through this alone. And you were built to be resilient. So whatever it is that you're going through, I want you to know you're in the right place. You're listening to the exact thing you need to hear, and you're going to get the support you deserve. You're about to learn research-backed tools that will help you dial down your stress, and our expert will walk you step-by-step through exactly what you need to do when life feels like this. She'll even prove to you that, yes, it's even possible to find moments of joy, meaning, and purpose while you do. Because the fact is, you can handle this.
And after listening today, you will.
Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast. I am so excited that you're here. It's such an honor to spend time with you and to be together. And if you're a new listener, I want to take a moment and personally welcome you to the Mel Robbins Podcast family. I cannot wait for you to meet today's guest, Dr. Tara Narula, because she's here to teach you how to handle the stress and pressure of life right now and become more resilient. Dr. Narula is a board-certified cardiologist and director of the Women's Heart Program at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. She's been practicing medicine for over two decades. She's a professor of cardiovascular medicine at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra.
Dr. Narula is also an Emmy Award-winning medical journalist who is the chief medical correspondent for ABC News. Dr. Narula earned her bachelor's degree at Stanford, her medical degree with the highest honors from the University of Southern California, completed her residency at Harvard University and Brigham and Women's Hospital, and her cardiology fellowship at Weill Cornell Medical Center. Dr. Narula is also a fellow of the American College of Cardiology and the New York Times bestselling author of the book, The Healing Power of Resilience. Please help me welcome Dr. Tara Narula to the Mel Robbins Podcast. Thank you for having me. It's a pleasure to be here. Well, thank you for writing this extraordinary bestselling book, The Healing Power of Resilience.
I cannot wait to dive into the research, the tools, but I want to start by having you explain to me, how could my life be different and feel different if I really take to heart everything that you are about to teach us today and I apply it?
Yeah. You know, Mel, we have one precious life, one. And in the time that we're here on earth, everybody wants to be able to take the most out of every moment, every experience, every day. I know that's what I want. That's what my family wants. That's what my patients tell me they want is that quality of life. The problem is that, as you know, during life, things happen. Things go wrong. Things go bad. We face challenges. And so for many people, that challenge, that traumatic event, whatever that may be, a divorce, a financial loss, a medical diagnosis, it stuns us and we get frozen and stuck. and we're not able to really take all of the things out of life that we want. And so resilience is really about finding your way to that space where despite what happens to you in life, you can still call and glean and take everything amazing from your experience in life and not let life take over you.
