JOYFUL STRESS BUSTER: Starting a happy hobby

“Cooking has become a great way to get my mind off daily stress,” Dr. Jen explains. “I was never much of a cook—in fact, my kids joke that I’ve learned to cook during the pandemic! I was always intimidated by making a meal from scratch, but tackling that fear has given me a new sense of confidence. I also do transcendental meditation, which is a game changer. I’ve discovered meditating is not one-size-fits-all: You can find the approach that works for you and brings you the most peace and calm.”
