LESS STRESS: MORE “YES”
They were all in the same boat. Struggling.
Stressed. Trying to stay afloat in a sea of uncertainty.
But she didn't have to drown.
She made a decision. Right there, in that pressure-
cooker meeting room. She was going to learn to sail.
She was going to identify her triggers. Understand
their power. And find ways to defuse them.

take practice.
But it was essential.
Her sanity, her health, her happiness depended on
it.

tirade. But something had shifted within Billie.
She was no longer just a victim of her
circumstances. She was a warrior. A strategist. A
survivor.
She was taking back her life, one trigger point at a
time.
And the first step was simply knowing her enemy.
Knowing the specific things that set her off. Knowing
the patterns of her stress.
