In this episode of Baby On The Brain, former fashion editor and celebrity stylist Kylie joins Stylist's Felicity Thistlethwaite to discuss her journey from high-pressure shoots and a hectic schedule to a grounded life running her stress-management platform, Stress Sucks, from a seaside cottage in Cornwall.
After years of traveling with bands and ignoring red flags from her body – including recurring infections, constant colds and sudden panic attacks – Kylie shares the turning point that forced her to redefine her relationship with work and wellness. Through encounters with an acupuncturist, a natural skincare expert and the reality of raising two young children while starting a new business, she realised how deeply chronic stress impacts the mind and body.
Kylie breaks down the physiological realities of fight-or-flight, demystifies burnout and offers practical, guilt-free strategies for overwhelmed mothers. Emphasising that rest is productive and \"done is better than none,\" she shares four actionable micro-wellness habits – from low-pressure gratitude lists to spotting morning digital triggers—to help listeners navigate parenting and careers without burning out.
