Why I'm Giving Away My Book
For more than 34 years, I've helped people deal with stress. But some of the most important lessons I've learned came from my own experience.
Years ago, stress-induced migraines nearly cost me my dream job. That experience led to a discovery that changed how I understood stress — and ultimately how I taught others to respond to it.
Today, I'm on a mission to share what I've learned with as many people as possible.
That's why I'm giving away the complete digital and audio editions of 10 Second Stress Solutions.
Because everyone deserves to know there's another way.
What You'll Discover Inside
What if the reason stress keeps building isn't because you're doing something wrong — but because you've never been taught how to release it?
In 10 Second Stress Solutions, you'll discover:
Why managing stress isn't enough —and what happens when stress keeps accumulating.
The Overflow Model™ — a simple way to understand why stress can affect your sleep, health, and relationships.
Why traditional stress relief often falls short — even when you're doing everything you're supposed to do.
The two-step RESET and RELEASE approach — practical tools you can use in the moment, in just seconds.
No complicated routines. No special equipment. And no waiting until you have more time.
Just a different way to understand stress — and practical skills you can start using right away.
Meet Carol Rickard, LCSW
Author | 2x TEDx Speaker | Stress & Burnout Authority
For more than 34 years, Carol Rickard has worked in healthcare, helping people understand and respond to stress in ways that actually fit into their everyday lives.
A licensed clinical social worker, international speaker, and author, Carol has trained more than 100,000 people worldwide, including professionals at Penn Medicine, Princeton University, and the New Jersey State Police.
But her approach isn't based on professional experience alone. Her own struggle with stress-induced migraines led to a discovery that changed how she understood stress — and inspired her to develop The Overflow Model™ and the Stress SMARTER™ approach.
Today, she's on a mission to change how the world deals with stress, one person at a time.
Because stress is inevitable. But the way you respond to it can change.
Real People. Real Experiences.
Experiences shared by people who have used Carol's stress relief tools and strategies.
"I absolutely love Carol Rickard's tools & strategies because they are both simple to implement and yet super effective!! My favorites are 'mind pushups', 'mind dumping' and her 'turn off faucet and drain the tub' concept."
— Anna C.
"The tracing out my thoughts with my finger, on the palm of my hand seriously works like MAGIC. Every night while laying in bed, I trace every thought out on my palm, pretend to crumble it up like a piece of paper, and throw it to the floor. Then my mind is clear and ready for sleep."
— Sydney S.
"Carol's strategies gave me practical, evidence-based tools to manage stress, improve my emotional regulation, and stay grounded with calm and clarity. These skills have made a meaningful, lasting difference."
— Claire A.
