In this episode of the Coach Cody Podcast, Dez and I break down what stress actually is, why you can’t escape it (sorry), and how to finally tell the difference between the kind of stress that makes you stronger… and the kind that quietly wrecks your sleep, your mood, your recovery, and your life.

We talk:
• Good stress vs. bad stress
• Why “no stress” is NOT the goal
• How stress affects training, recovery, and decision-making
• The lifestyle habits that are secretly overstressing your system
• What’s been helping us manage our own stress loads lately
• Simple tools you can use THIS WEEK to handle stress like a grown-ass adult

This is Week 3 of the Stress Series, based on everything I’ve been navigating personally this year, and honestly, this one might be the missing puzzle piece. Stress isn’t going anywhere… but you can learn how to work with it instead of against it.

If you’re tired, wired, overwhelmed, or stuck in survival mode, this episode is for you.
