Feeling Pain Without Suffering

Calm AF is a podcast for high performers who have it together on the outside but feel like their brain never shuts up on the inside. You're capable, trusted, and high-functioning—yet somehow stuck overthinking decisions, replaying conversations, and carrying way more mental weight than you should have to. Hosted by Kristen Finch, this podcast names what's *actually* going on beneath the surface and helps you get back to your own confidence. You don't need to work on yourself. You just need real conversations that help the inside finally match what everyone else already sees on the outside.
