Stressed out person

A calm, practical approach to help you reduce stress, quiet your mind,
and feel steady and in control again.


Who Stress Usually Affects

Stress doesn’t happen to people who are weak — it happens to people who carry a lot and keep going anyway.

If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you’ve been:

  • the dependable one

  • the one who handles everything

  • the person others lean on

  • the one who keeps life moving

  • the one who pushes through even when you’re drained

Stress often affects people who are:

  • high-achieving

  • emotionally intelligent

  • deeply responsible

  • sensitive to others’ needs

  • hard on themselves

  • used to being “the strong one”


Common Signs of Stress

Stress often builds gradually until you realize you're carrying more than your mind or body can manage.You might be experiencing stress if you’ve noticed:

Stressed out woman
  • racing thoughts or difficulty switching off

  • feeling tense, wired, or on edge

  • irritability or emotional sensitivity

  • waking up tired even after a full night’s sleep

  • trouble focusing or staying present

  • feeling overwhelmed by small tasks

  • avoiding decisions because everything feels like “too much”

  • tight chest, knots in the stomach, or headaches

  • relying on caffeine, sugar, or scrolling just to cope

  • difficulty setting boundaries or saying no

If these feel familiar, you’re not broken — you’re stressed out. And stress is fixable.


How Stress Coaching Helps You Feel Steady Again

Stress isn’t solved by “pushing through” — it’s solved by understanding what’s weighing on you, calming your nervous system, and creating a steadier way forward.Here’s what stress coaching can help you do:

  • Get clarity on what’s actually causing your stress

  • Reduce mental overload with simple, practical strategies

  • Learn tools to calm your nervous system in real time

  • Set boundaries so you stop over-committing

  • Shift patterns like overthinking, perfectionism, or people-pleasing

  • Build emotional resilience so you stay steady under pressure

  • Reconnect with motivation and focus

  • Feel like yourself again — grounded, clear, and in control

Man jumping for joy

Stress coaching is a safe space to talk honestly, reset your mind, and build a way of living that doesn’t cost you your wellbeing.

Aiden Murtagh — Jay Shetty Success & Life Coach based in NYC

Stress coaching is a safe space to slow down, reset your mind, and build a way of living that doesn’t cost you your wellbeing.My coaching approach is:

  • Practical: simple, doable steps that reduce overwhelm

  • Emotionally grounded: we address the actual cause, not just the symptoms

  • Identity-based: helping you shift patterns like over-responsibility, perfectionism, or people-pleasing

  • Supportive but direct: compassion + clarity + concrete action

If you want to feel calm, focused, and in control again, I can help you get there.

What a Coaching Session Feels Like

A session with me is a space where you can slow down and finally hear yourself think.
Most clients describe it as:

  • “the first time I’ve felt understood in months”

  • “calming and grounding”

  • “direct but helpful — the clarity I needed”

  • “like someone finally gets the pressure I’m under”

You’ll walk away with emotional clarity and practical next steps — not more overwhelm.
