Episode 5: Overstimulated & Misunderstood

Episode 5: Overstimulated & Misunderstood

On today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on something many of us experience but rarely talk about: overstimulation. As a mother, teacher, student, and woman balancing a thousand roles, I’ve often felt overwhelmed; not angry, not ungrateful, just sensory overloaded. Let’s talk about what overstimulation really feels like, how it shows up in our relationships, and why it’s often mistaken for attitude, coldness, or even anger. If you’ve ever felt like you're about to snap but can’t explain why, this episode is for you. - Let’s give language to what we’re feeling. - Available now on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. - Let’s chat, Café con Briana style.

Who Am I Outside Of My Roles?

Episode 4: Who Am I Outside of My Roles? After an unexpected health scare and a complete mental and emotional burnout, I had to ask myself a question I’ve avoided for years: Who am I… when I’m not showing up for everyone else? In this raw and vulnerable episode of Café con Briana, I open up about the breakdown that became a breakthrough. As a mother, wife, teacher, student, and friend, I’ve worn so many hats that I forgot the woman underneath them all. This is a soft landing space for anyone who’s ever felt lost in their titles, exhausted from constantly being needed, or unsure of who they are beyond the expectations. ☕ We’ll talk: * What led to my abrupt podcast pause * The truth behind my healing journey * The questions I’m asking to reconnect with myself * A journaling prompt to help you do the same Take a deep breath, grab your favorite cup, and join me for this real talk from the heart. ✨ Journal With Me: What do I need when no one is needing me?

The Myth Of Having It All Together

In Episode 2 of Café con Briana, we’re busting the myth that we have to have it all together all the time. From motherhood to marriage to managing our dreams, the pressure to perform can leave us feeling overwhelmed and isolated. I’m sharing a personal moment when I felt like I was drowning — and how I found peace in letting go of perfection. Listen in for a truth-filled conversation, a journaling prompt, and a reminder that showing up as you are is more than enough.  Let’s sip on that truth together.
