Summary
In this Growth Spurt, Dr. Milt Lowder explores how stress narrows our focus, pulls us away from what matters most, and can unintentionally disconnect us from others. Drawing on the science of the brain's stress response, Milt explains why stress often makes us more self-focused; he shares how awareness, gratitude, and joy can help us regain perspective and reconnect with our purpose.
