The Power of the Pause: Why Your Short Fuse Is Trying to Tell You Something
With Dabney Vaccaro & Sabrina Cooper · July 27, 2026
Have you ever snapped at someone and immediately wondered where that came from? I sat down with Dabney Vaccaro and Sabrina Cooper on The Lifestyle Herbalists Podcast to talk about exactly that, the connection between chronic stress, emotional regulation, and the short fuse so many of us are living with right now.
We got into what’s actually happening in the brain and body when you stay in a constant state of overwhelm, why patience seems to run out right when you need it most, and why creating intentional pauses throughout the day isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s one of the most protective things you can do for your relationships, your health, and your peace of mind.
If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, whether that’s work, family, caregiving, or just the pace of life right now, this conversation was made for you. Press play below.
