The Choose Love Movement with Scarlett Lewis: Allostatic Load

Scarlett and Gia Lacqua talk about Allostatic Load
Gia is a widely-regarded trauma-informed empowerment coach, international motivational speaker, women's leadership expert, children's book author, board officer, podcast host, and girl-mom. She empowers high-achieving women to break free from the relentless “never enough” cycle and redefine success on their own terms. Through her signature framework, Radical Prioritization, Gia guides women toward authentic alignment, helping them focus on what truly matters to create impactful, fulfilling lives. Gia is a catalyst for change, inspiring women to redefine what it means to lead, live, and thrive.
Scarlett and Gia talked about allostatic load which is when we build up stress chemicals in the nervous system and get stuck in freeze, fight or flight. They also discussed the top regret of people who are dying, which is ‘I wasn't my authentic self.’ In Gia's research 69% of people said they felt like they were never enough and 75% of people went through life by grinning and bearing it! With over 70% of Americans lacking self-esteem, and our innate negative bias that has our brains buying the fear that is sold through media and messaging, no wonder we're feeling anxious and overwhelmed! Gia offers some tips and hints on how we honor ourselves and gain perspective and prioritize. https://gialacqua.com/
