You don’t have to Eliminate Stress to Find Peace.

Most of us believe we need to eliminate stress before we can feel calm. But what if peace isn't about perfect conditions—it's about practice?

In this episode, Dr. Raquel teaches you how to find calm WITH stress present, not despite it. You'll learn the science behind your stress response, why your nervous system can't tell the difference between real and perceived threats, and how reframing your beliefs changes your biology.

Includes a powerful client story and a guided Calm Exhale breathwork practice to activate your body's natural relaxation response.

Say YES to peace—even in the chaos.

Episode 1: Your Stress isn’t the Enemy it’s a Message

What if everything you've been told about stress is wrong?

In this episode of Your Empowered Self, Dr. Raquel Yarroch reveals why stress isn't your enemy—it's your body's built-in messenger system trying to protect you. Most women spend years fighting their stress, only to end up more exhausted, inflamed, and burnt out. But what if the solution isn't eliminating stress... but learning to listen to it?

Dr. Raquel breaks down the science of the HPA axis (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis) and explains exactly what happens in your body when chronic stress takes over. You'll discover why stress causes weight gain around your middle, shuts down your digestion, suppresses your immune system, and disrupts your hormones—and more importantly, what to do about it.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why your body can't tell the difference between a real threat and a perceived one

  • The 5 ways chronic stress damages your thyroid, gut, adrenals, and hormones

  • How to decode what your body is actually trying to tell you through stress signals

  • Where you hold stress in your body and what that reveals about your life

  • A simple 3-question framework to shift from stress reactivity to stress awareness

  • Box Breathing technique to signal safety to your nervous system in under 2 minutes

Dr. Raquel shares a powerful client story about a woman whose chronic gut issues were actually her body's way of communicating unprocessed stress—and how listening to that message changed everything.

Whether you're dealing with fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, hormone chaos, or autoimmune symptoms, this episode will help you understand that your body isn't broken—it's brilliant. And it's been trying to tell you something all along.
