When you stop filtering yourself ...and it comes out wrong

Interrupting a bad mood, before it takes over

In this episode, I share how a frustrating start to my day could have easily spiraled into a bad day… or even a bad week. But instead of letting that happen, I made a different choice. Not a huge one. Just a small interruption, that lead to more... A walk.Gratitude.Writing.Time outside. And somehow, those small shifts completely changed the trajectory of my day. This episode is about how quickly a mood can take over—and how much power there is in interrupting it before it does. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a bad mood or like your day was “ruined” before it even started, this one’s for you. New episodes every Monday.

Numbing out without realizing it

Ever find yourself scrolling, cleaning, or staying busy… just to avoid the moment you’re in? In this episode, I’m unpacking the subtle ways I’ve been numbing out—especially during the harder parts of my day—and how I didn’t even realize how often I was checking out. From toddler tantrums to being “nap-trapped” and lost in endless scrolling, I started to notice how quickly I reach for distractions when things feel overwhelming, frustrating, or just not how I want them to be. This week, I tried something different. Instead of automatically checking out, I experimented with staying present. It wasn’t perfect. It wasn’t always comfortable. But it showed me the difference between avoiding my life… and actually being in it. If you’ve ever caught yourself doomscrolling, zoning out, or avoiding the moment you’re in—this episode is for you.

Let them misunderstand you

Ever replay a conversation over and over… wondering if you were misunderstood? In this episode, I’m unpacking my habit of over-explaining, overthinking texts, and trying to control how I’m perceived—and what happened when I decided to stop. After sending a message in the middle of a conflict, I resisted the urge to follow up, clarify, or fix it… and sat in the discomfort of not knowing how it was received. No response. No reassurance. Just the spiral.... and a different choice. Learning to let people misunderstand you might be the very thing that helps you stop abandoning yourself. If you struggle with over-explaining, people-pleasing, or needing to be understood “the right way”… this one’s for you. New episodes every Monday.

Course correcting self-sabotage (when self-doubt kicks in)

In this episode, I’m talking about self-sabotage—specifically the kind that shows up as self-doubt when you’re about to put yourself out there. I recorded this the week I launched the podcast, and almost immediately, my mind went into overdrive. I started imagining what people would think, questioning whether any of it mattered, and preparing myself to quietly walk away before anyone else could judge me. This is a pattern I know well—pulling back from something I care about just to avoid the possibility of failure or embarrassment. Instead of letting that take over, I tried something different. In this episode, I walk through what that spiral actually looked like, how I interrupted it (in a very real, imperfect way), and what I’m starting to understand about self-sabotage as a form of protection. I talk about two tools I use to get myself unstuck: * Movement * EFT Tapping Book mentioned: "The Tapping Solution" by Nick Ortner If you’ve ever felt the urge to shrink back, downplay yourself, or give up before something even has a chance—this one’s for you.

When you stop filtering yourself ...and it comes out wrong

In this episode, I’m talking about what happened when I stopped filtering myself—and how it came out all wrong. For a long time, I’ve defaulted to people-pleasing. Staying quiet, avoiding conflict, and prioritizing other people’s needs over my own. But when that pattern finally broke, it didn’t look like calm, clear communication. It looked like everything coming out at once. What I thought would feel like “standing up for myself” ended up feeling messy, reactive, and honestly… a little regretful. In this episode, I walk through that experience, what it showed me about my patterns, and why going from saying nothing to saying everything isn’t actually growth. I’m learning that there’s a middle ground—one that’s more intentional, more honest, and a lot less explosive. If you’ve ever struggled with people-pleasing, holding things in, or figuring out how to express yourself without it all spilling over at once, this one’s for you. New episodes every Monday.
