Stop the Overwhelm: The First Step

Sometimes it isn’t about setting boundaries perfectly or having the right script ready.And it’s not about fixing anyone or pushing through harder.

It’s about noticing when your body is overloaded.

And then doing something about it. 

The “doing” I am talking about is different than what you think that will actually help you show up better.

I talk about this and more:

• Ways overstimulation can build

• How perfectionism and urgency quietly add pressure

• Why taking space doesn’t mean you don’t care

If you’ve ever felt overstimulated, tense, or disconnected while surrounded by people you love, this episode is for you.
