In this episode of Top Self, Shanenn shares a deeply relatable scenario: it’s 10 p.m., you’re staring at your phone, spiraling over a text that simply says, “Okay, sounds good. Talk to you tomorrow.” If that’s ever sent you into an emotional tailspin, this episode is for you.

We explore why relationship insecurity creates an overwhelming urge to process everything out loud—and why your friends might be reaching their limit. Shanenn dives into the neuroscience of emotional regulation, the critical role of co-regulation, and why being understood by someone who “gets it” can feel like a lifeline.

You’ll learn why exhausting your friendships isn’t the answer—and how group support like Talk It Out Tuesday and the Behind Your Jealous Mind Bootcamp can offer real change, practical tools, and deep emotional relief.


💎 Golden Episode Nuggets:

  • Criticizing yourself for needing support only deepens the wound.
  • Relationship insecurity is a nervous system issue, not a character flaw.
  • Friends mean well—but they’re not therapists. Group support gets it.
  • Shame thrives in secrecy. But when you share your story with people who truly understand, it loses its power.
  • You are not "too much." You are not broken. You are human.


Key Moments:

  • 1:30 – That late-night spiral we’ve all had—why your brain won’t let go
  • 6:00 – The neuroscience behind why we have to talk things out
  • 9:30 – Why your friends can't always be your emotional support system
  • 12:00 – How insecurity starts impacting all of your relationships
  • 15:50 – The invisible burnout your friends may be feeling
  • 17:40 – “You’re not broken”—the power of being truly understood
  • 20:00 – Why shame thrives in silence and how to break the cycle
  • 24:30 – Group support vs. going it alone: the real difference
  • 26:40 – How helping others with their insecurity reinforces your own healing
  • 28:30 – Group coaching isn’t exposure—it’s your power move


👩‍🏫 Shanenn Says:

"Insecurity is a terrible roommate. It never cleans up its mess and always leaves you drained."
