Pole Dance & Stress

Join us this week as we dive in with Jessica Patching-Bunch, founder of Brain Body Resilience, who helps people find tools to manage their stress and tap into the body. We discuss the research validity, the stress response, how movement and stress are correlated, our individual variability, and tools for managing stress/nervous system regulation. Jessica brings a background in gymnastics, coaching, neuropsychology, and science communication, offering deep and well-developed opinions based on research and experience. To wrap up the podcast we debate some exciting hypotheticals to see what she would offer as a solution to a client in a stressful situation.
