If your brain loves to spiral, replaying conversations, catastrophising outcomes, or writing imaginary arguments you win three days later,this episode is for you. I explain why overthinking isn’t a mindset flaw. It’s a body cue.

Overthinking is what happens when your nervous system doesn’t feel safe. So your brain tries to compensate by “solving” everything in advance. That’s not logic it’s anxiety in disguise.

We walk through a few powerful tools to disrupt the spiral. First, naming the pattern (“Ah, I’m problem-solving for safety”) helps interrupt it. Then we move into the body: shaking, stretching, even walking helps discharge the energy fuelling the thoughts.

I also share the 3-3-3 grounding reset a fast, easy technique to bring you out of the mental movie and back into the present. Because the goal isn’t to think less it’s to feel more. That’s where your calm lives.

In this episode, we’re looking at the autopilot answer we all give, “I’m fine” and what it’s really covering up. I share how I used to say it so often it became a reflex, even when I was completely numb inside. Because the truth is, “fine” isn’t a feeling. It’s a defence mechanism.

I explain how your nervous system uses “fine” to stay functional when honesty feels unsafe and how over time, it disconnects you from what’s actually going on inside.

We talk about how to break the habit gently, starting with small, honest swaps. Instead of “fine,” try “I’m tired but hopeful.” Or “I’m stretched but managing.” These aren’t dramatic. They’re human.

You’ll also hear why starting with the body (not the mind) is key. I guide you through a simple self-check-in that helps you notice what your body is feeling tightness, heaviness, restlessness and why that opens the door to real regulation.

This episode is your invitation to stop performing wellness and start practising real connection with yourself first.

If you’ve been afraid that slowing down will make everything fall apart, I made this episode for you. I open up about the time I got sick and was forced to stop and how, to my surprise, nothing collapsed. In fact, when I came back, I was more creative than I’d been in months.

We explore the myth that success equals speed, and I explain what really happens when we’re stuck in a cycle of adrenaline-fuelled urgency. I offer practical ways to begin slowing down without feeling like you’re falling behind including a simple five-second pause before each task, and adding one tiny “slow ritual” to your day.

This isn’t about doing less. It’s about choosing how you do things from a place of clarity, not panic. Calm doesn’t kill momentum. It protects it.

If saying yes feels safer than saying no, even when you’re exhausted, you’re not alone.

In this episode, I dive into the “good girl” conditioning that leaves so many of us stuck in people-pleasing, perfectionism, and quiet resentment.

Ever sat down on holiday with a book and felt… unsettled? Like your body didn’t get the memo that it’s time to relax? This episode is about that exact feeling, the hidden anxiety that only shows up when everything else goes quiet.

If quiet moments make you twitchy or restless, this one’s for you. Because calm isn’t about silence, it’s about safety. And you can create it, step by step.

In this episode, I’m speaking directly to the women who always have it handled, the fixers, the calm ones, the emotional anchors. If that’s you, I want you to know: your strength is beautiful… but it shouldn’t cost you your peace.

If you’ve ever tried to fix burnout with a better routine or colour-coded planner… and still ended up flat out, this episode explains why. I talk about the real reason we can’t “logic” our way out of exhaustion: because burnout lives in your body, not your to-do list.

I walk through how stress hijacks your nervous system and puts your brain in permanent survival mode — and why all the productivity hacks in the world won’t work until your body feels safe again.

You’ll hear four practical steps to begin your recovery: naming your physical sensations (not just your thoughts), using long exhales to switch off fight-or-flight, moving your body to complete the stress cycle, and collecting micro-moments of joy that help recalibrate your system.

This one’s all about dropping into your body, feeling what’s real, and reclaiming calm, not as a luxury, but as a requirement for real healing. You’re not lazy. You’re overloaded. And this is how we start to come back.

You know that kind of tired where you wake up… still tired? That’s what we’re talking about today the sneaky kind of fatigue that sleep alone doesn’t fix.

In this episode, I explain how your nervous system might be missing rest signals, even if your body’s technically sleeping. We talk about stress carryover, how your inputs before bed matter more than you think, and why micro wind-downs throughout the day can make a huge difference.

This episode is all about recognising tiredness as more than just physical, and giving your body the right kind of rest so you can wake up clear, calm, and actually energised.

Ever tried to rest… and ended up mentally reorganising your entire life? Same. In this episode, I talk about the sneaky guilt that shows up when we finally pause and why it’s got nothing to do with laziness.

I share my own experience of turning “rest” into another performance task, and explain how our nervous systems confuse stillness with danger because they’ve been trained to link movement with safety. It’s not your fault, it’s biology.

You’ll learn how to reframe rest with language your brain understands (“recovery” or “integration” instead of “doing nothing”), plus how to start small with the Two-Minute Permission Rule and visual reminders that reinforce rest as a valuable action.

I also touch on how to normalise rest in your circle, because being surrounded by burnt-out people makes it harder to prioritise your own recovery. This episode is a gentle call to step off the guilt spiral and reconnect with stillness in a way that feels safe, kind, and powerful.

Winter can be brutal for our nervous systems, short days, long deadlines, and radiators that either roast or ignore you. In this cosy, practical episode, I share five nervous system resets you can do in ten minutes or less to bring your energy and focus back down to earth.

We start with the Mug Hug, a simple warm drink paired with long, intentional exhales. Then there’s the Weighted Word, Doorway Melts to undo laptop posture, a panoramic Winter Walk, and even a 10-Minute Tidy designed to gently clear cognitive clutter.

You’ll hear how each reset is designed to offer small, repeatable cues of safety. No perfection, no ice baths, no productivity traps. Just nervous system nourishment that works, even if you’re wrapped in a duvet and slightly overwhelmed.

This one’s all about doing less, more often, and learning to feel safe again inside your own body when everything outside feels a little too much.
