In today's episode, Colleen unpacks a subtle but powerful mindset that can completely shift how you experience stress, pressure, and time. Whether it's a packed calendar, an airport sprint, or your own inner critic barking about everything you should be doing, the real problem isn't your to-do list—it's your nervous system.

This episode explores how urgency is often just emotional dysregulation in disguise, and why "getting everything done" will never create the calm you're actually craving.

If you're constantly on the go, juggling work, family, and the secret shame of overdrinking, this one will help you slow down without falling behind—and start practicing emotional sobriety in the way you move through your day.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Feeling rushed is not a fact—it's a nervous system state.

• Stress often masquerades as urgency, but urgency isn't truth.

• When your body is dysregulated, your brain makes up reasons to panic.

• Emotional sobriety means choosing how you want to feel and leading with that.

• You don't have to suffer through your schedule—you can rewire how you move through it.
