From Burnout to Resilience: How to Change Your Response to Stress

Stress is unavoidable, but how we respond to it can change the way it affects our minds, bodies, and everyday lives.

In this episode of the Human Resilience Podcast, Bob Gold and Shelley Schoenfeld are joined by Jerry Teplitz, JD, PhD, an internationally recognized speaker, author, and expert on brain performance, neuroplasticity, and stress management. Jerry shares his unconventional journey from practicing law to studying yoga, meditation, and mind-body techniques—and the experiences that changed the way he thought about stress and human performance.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• How stress and our thought patterns can influence the way we feel and function
• Why experiencing a behavior-change technique can be more powerful than simply learning about it
• The connection between the brain, body, and our physiological response to stress
• Simple techniques designed to help interrupt negative thought patterns and build greater resilience

Plus, Jerry takes Bob and Shelley through an interactive Brain Gym exercise that listeners can follow along with, demonstrating how simple movements can be used to shift the body’s response to a negative thought or stressful experience.

Resilience isn’t about eliminating stress or pretending challenges don’t exist. It’s about developing practical tools to respond differently when they do.

Listen now—and follow along with Jerry’s demonstration—to explore how small shifts in the way we think, move, and respond to stress can help build greater resilience in everyday life.
