Finally. A Place to Exhale
Quick stress relief for busy women who are tired of running on empty.
Free. Practical. No hour-long programs.
Does this sound like you?
- You are exhausted, overwhelmed, and running on fumes — and you cannot remember the last time you felt truly relaxed.
- You snap at the people you love most because your nervous system is maxed out and you have nothing left to give.
- You know you need to slow down, but you have no idea where to start — or when you would even find the time.
If you said yes, you are in the right place...
Hi, I'm Denise.
My doctor looked me in the eye one day and said, “Denise, you’d better slow down or else.”
I was a successful conference manager who wore burnout like a badge of honor. I was always on, always behind, and always giving everything to everyone else. Then my body said enough. My health suffered. My relationships suffered.
So I went looking for answers.
What I found changed everything. EFT tapping, breathwork, meditation, and simple nervous system tools helped me feel calm again. And I couldn’t keep it to myself.
I’m a certified EFT practitioner, life coach, and hypnotherapist. I host the Calm Your Daily Stress podcast, which ranks in the top 3% of podcasts worldwide. And I created The Relaxation Lounge for busy women like you, and like the old me, who need real relief without the fluff.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
Denise

Calm Your Daily Stress Podcast
Every week I share simple ways to ease stress, along with guests who know the topic well. Think of it as a calm conversation with a friend who wants you to feel better.
Is your internal critic stealing the energy you need to run your life and business? In this episode, body peace coach Nina Manolson breaks down how fighting your body image causes burnout and exhaustion, and shares simple, actionable steps to trade body combat for true peace.
Nina Manolson is a Body-Peace coach who helps women end the war with food and their bodies, using a feminist, anti-diet approach built on 30 years as an Internal Family Systems therapist and Body-Trust Guide. Through her courses, coaching, poems, Body-Peace APP, and Body-Peace Deck, she helps women build a respectful, trusting relationship with food and feel at home in their bodies as they are.
In this episode:
- Nina shares how many busy women waste valuable energy worrying about their body image when they could be focusing on growing their business instead.
- Nina explains that constantly trying to change your body image drains your daily motivation and adds unnecessary stress to your life.
- She talks about how society tricks women into fixing their body image by forcing unrealistic goals that do not actually improve health.
- Nina shares that losing weight quickly through diets or meds often backfires, making it harder to maintain a positive body image over time.
- She explains that aging naturally brings changes, and accepting your body image as you grow older brings true peace and confidence.
- She talks about how media and celebrity trends push a tiny body image that hurts women of all ages.
- Nina shares a simple daily habit of saying a gentle hello to yourself to start healing your body image step by step.
- Nina explains her twenty question journal designed to help busy women unpack their thoughts and build a kinder body image. Get her free journal here: https://ninamanolson.com/practicingbodypeace/
