Lena: Hey everyone, welcome to your personalized podcast from BeFreed! I'm Lena, and I'm absolutely thrilled to dive into something that's incredibly relevant for so many listeners right now.
Eli: And I'm Eli! You know, Lena, when we started looking into stress management for Grade 12 students, I was blown away by how much we actually understand about turning pressure into power. There's this whole science behind why some students thrive under pressure while others get overwhelmed.
