59. What Changed for My Body Image When I Stopped Fighting Myself

In this week's reflection episode, I open up about my past struggles with body image, self-hatred, and being incredibly unkind to myself. Then, I share ways that I have grown my mindset around my body and how releasing stress has helped me heal my body way more than trying to be perfect or calorie counting. 🌙 In this episode, I share: * A reflection on how body image used to feel for me * How a bad relationship with yourself impacts your body image * How being kind to myself has helped me stop worrying as much about my body * My realization that self-talk matters way more than we are taught 📓 Journal prompt of the week: How do I want to feel about my body, and what is one kind thing I can do for my body this week? ✍️ My Poetry & Reflections Notion Page: https://www.notion.so/Morgan-Sneed-Poetry-Reflections-294fbd79ed638009bf42dc1cddabf4fd?source=copy_link [https://www.notion.so/Morgan-Sneed-Poetry-Reflections-294fbd79ed638009bf42dc1cddabf4fd?source=copy_link] 🌐 My Socials: All my links in one place: https://linktr.ee/morgansneed [https://linktr.ee/morgansneed] Instagram: @morgansneedd TikTok: @morgansneed 🎙 Want to start your own podcast?

57. Things That Instantly Make Me Emotionally Spiral

This week's fun episode is a light-hearted yet reflective deep dive into some of the things that can make me emotionally spiral, as someone who overthinks basically everything, is deeply creative, and is always trying to balance meaning with overwhelm. From podcast editing and social media to parenting, perfectionism, and trying to figure out whether I'm intuitive or just anxious. By the end, this episode became less about the spirals themselves and more about what it's actually like to live inside my brain. 🌙 In this episode, I share: * Why being a creative person can easily turn into emotional overwhelm * Struggles with managing and balancing all parts of life * How overthinking can turn the smallest things into self-improvement spirals * The pressure of being "niche enough" while still remaining authentic * How I'm learning to ground myself when my brain gets too loud 📓 Journal prompt of the week: If my brain had a ‘close all tabs’ button, what would I be afraid to lose, and what would feel like relief? ✍️ My Poetry & Reflections Notion Page: https://www.notion.so/Morgan-Sneed-Poetry-Reflections-294fbd79ed638009bf42dc1cddabf4fd?source=copy_link [https://www.notion.so/Morgan-Sneed-Poetry-Reflections-294fbd79ed638009bf42dc1cddabf4fd?source=copy_link] 🌐 My Socials: All my links in one place: https://linktr.ee/morgansneed [https://linktr.ee/morgansneed] Instagram: @morgansneedd TikTok: @morgansneed 🎙 Want to start your own podcast?

56. When the Fear of Being “Too Much” Starts Controlling Your Relationships

In this week’s insight episode, I talk about what happens when the fear of being “too much” starts controlling the way we show up in our relationships. This episode is the realization that sometimes, anxiety controls our behavior along with our emotions. I share some of the ways fear can turn emotions into panic, urgency, hypervigilance, and self-protection, and how healing is about learning to stay connected to ourselves without letting fear become our identity. 🌙 In this episode, I share: * How fear of abandonment can change the way we act in relationships * Why people are often more overwhelmed by our panic than our emotions themselves * How hypervigilance & over-explaining can reinforce the fear that we are “too much” * A reminder that healing is not becoming less emotional, but learning how to stay grounded while feeling our emotions 📓 Journal prompt of the week: What emotions do I tend to turn into stories about myself or how others feel about me? ✍️ My Poetry & Reflections Notion Page: https://www.notion.so/Morgan-Sneed-Poetry-Reflections-294fbd79ed638009bf42dc1cddabf4fd?source=copy_link [https://www.notion.so/Morgan-Sneed-Poetry-Reflections-294fbd79ed638009bf42dc1cddabf4fd?source=copy_link] 🌐 My Socials: All my links in one place: https://linktr.ee/morgansneed [https://linktr.ee/morgansneed] Instagram: @morgansneedd TikTok: @morgansneed 🎙 Want to start your own podcast?

55. Maybe I Was Never Too Much

In this week’s reflection episode, I talk about the painful feeling that who you are, at your core, might be “too much” even for the people who love you deeply. After a recent experience with loved ones left me feeling emotionally overwhelmed and disconnected, I began unpacking the deeper emotions hidden beneath my anxious-avoidant attachment style, hyper-independence, and fear of being misunderstood. This episode is about recognizing what happens when we stop dismissing our emotions, learning that sensitivity is not the same thing as weakness, and understanding that healing can feel messy before it begins to feel peaceful. 🌙 In this episode, I share: * What it feels like to believe your emotions overwhelm other people. * The connection between burnout, emotional sensitivity, and feeling misunderstood. * How overexplaining can become a coping mechanism for fear and rejection. * Learning that feeling deeply is not a moral failure and that you don't have to shrink yourself to feel loved. 📓 Journal prompt of the week: Write about a moment in your life where you first started feeling like you were “too much” or “not enough,” and reflect on how that experience may still affect you today. ✍️ My Poetry & Reflections Notion Page: https://www.notion.so/Morgan-Sneed-Poetry-Reflections-294fbd79ed638009bf42dc1cddabf4fd?source=copy_link [https://www.notion.so/Morgan-Sneed-Poetry-Reflections-294fbd79ed638009bf42dc1cddabf4fd?source=copy_link] 🌐 My Socials: All my links in one place: https://linktr.ee/morgzworld [https://linktr.ee/morgzworld] Instagram: @morgansneedd TikTok: @morgansneed 🎙 Want to start your own podcast?
