About this episode

Hilary Russo and Brett Cotter discuss the role of stress as a signal and the importance of emotional pain release.

What if stress isn't the enemy… but the signal? In this episode, host Hilary Russo sits down with Brett Cotter, founder of Stress Is Gone, to explore what it really means to release emotional pain instead of powering through it. We talk about nervous system exhaustion, the layers underneath jealousy and fear, supporting veterans and first responders, and the often-overlooked impact of secondary trauma on helpers and healers. This conversation on HIListically Speaking is about safety, self-regulation, and remembering you were never broken to begin with. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the noise of the world, or your own inner critic, this one will feel like a reset.
