1. Welcome to The Overwhelm Cure: Transforming Stress into Peace and Balance

Are you scared to have tough conversations? It's not your fault. Many of us (myself included) were raised in families where discussing emotions wasn't the norm, and being a 'good girl' and doing what we were told - no matter how we felt about it - was expected. But sweeping real issues under the rug to avoid tough conversations doesn't do anyone any favors. Eventually, the hidden problems surface as irritability, resentment, and burnout. If you're ready to stop repeating these unhelpful patterns. Listen to this episode for advice on facing problems head-on so you can tackle tough conversations confidently BEFORE resentment festers.

We've all heard the phrase 'You teach people how to treat you.' But did you know that making empty threats could be reinforcing a dynamic where you're not taken seriously? It sounds counterintuitive – we usually resort to empty threats when we've reached our wits' end and finally stand up for ourselves. But what happens when we don't follow through? We signal to others - whether it's our kids, partner, or colleagues - that there's no real accountability. In this episode, I'm teaching you how to break this cycle with 3 simple skills that will help you transform conflict into a catalyst for positive change in your relationships - not a source of strife.

Is anxiety driving your behavior? It might be without you even realizing it… If you find yourself people-pleasing, over-planning, or being hyper-independent you might be OVERfunctioning thanks to anxious tendencies. If you find yourself procrastinating, avoiding texts and emails, avoiding commitments you might be UNDERfuncitoning - also thanks to anxious tendencies. These kinds of behaviors can help us cope with anxiety in the short term but often fuel our anxiety in the long term. That's why in this episode, I'm diving deep into WHY we turn to these not-so-supportive behaviors to cope, and how to identify them. That way, we can replace these unhelpful behaviors with healthier tools to actually calm and relieve your anxiety.
