Today’s episode centres on an incredible guest, Lisa Angel Smith, a transformational coach, business strategist and founder of The Plant Protocol. Joining us from the US at 4 a.m. her time, Lisa delivers one of the most impactful conversations we’ve had on TDA. She breaks down the difference between acute and chronic stress, explaining how chronic stress quietly destroys the body on a cellular level and why Black communities experience it more intensely through racism, pressure, weathering and generational resilience. She talks about eliminating stress rather than managing it, the psychology behind fear-based decision making, and how belief systems, self trust and faith shape our choices.Lisa also dives into emotional eating, hormonal imbalance, survival mode, career stress, relationships, identity, and how our community often overplays strength out of necessity. Her frameworks, her clarity, and her straight talking approach make this an episode that feels like a masterclass in wellness, self awareness and liberation.A powerful, insightful and essential conversation with a guest who came ready to pour into the culture.
