Walking on Eggshells – Part 1: Why We Shrink
Walking on eggshells...that shrinking, tiptoeing feeling when someone’s mood or the tension in a room makes you second guess everything. Even when you know it’s not your fault, your body reacts like it is.
In this episode, we dig into:
Why your nervous system triggers that “eggshell” response.
The long-term impact of living this way—losing your voice, shrinking into people-pleasing, and carrying weight that was never yours.
How to start catching yourself in the moment when you’re tiptoeing or shutting down.
This is Part 1 of the series. For now, the challenge is simple: notice. Notice when you shrink, when you second guess, when you tiptoe. That awareness is the first step to stepping off the eggshells.
