    277. How to Stop September Stress From Following You Into October (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    September can bring this strange pressure to get your life back on track. New routines, new goals, getting back into work, ending the year strong. But what if you’re already carrying too much? When everything on your plate already feels like one thing too many, adding more goals or routines can just make you feel even more overwhelmed. And sometimes the hardest part isn’t even the busyness itself. It’s the story underneath it. The belief that you should be able to handle it all, that everyone el

    276. From Copying Others to Trusting Your Own Ideas (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    You don’t need their ideas...you need to trust your own. I was sitting in a doctor’s office reading an email I loved, and within seconds I was thinking, “Wait, I should be doing this too.” I caught myself comparing, questioning my own ideas, and feeling like I was already behind. So I opened my Notes app and started coaching myself through it. What I realized was simple: I didn’t trust myself to come up with good ideas, enough ideas, or the right ideas. And when I looked at the evidence, I knew

    275. You Already Know What to Do. So Why Aren’t You Doing It? Feat. Jenna D'Annunzio (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

That was one of my favorite parts of this conversation with Jenna D’Annunzio.

    274. You’re Not Saying Yes Because You Want To - You’re Saying Yes to Keep the Peace (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    I still think about the $30 Bumblebee toy from Target. My son wanted to ride it through the store, and I said yes, with the very clear boundary that we were not buying it. Then, of course, he wanted to buy it. I said no. He pushed back. And eventually I gave in because I did not want to deal with the meltdown. He never even used the thing because he was too big for it. At the time, I could have just chalked it up to one of those parenting moments. But when I looked at why I gave in, I realized i

    273. Journal With Me: Why You Keep Doing Things You Don't Want to Do (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    You know you don't want to keep doing it, but somehow you keep doing the same thing anyway. Maybe you keep overcommitting. Maybe you push through when you need to stop. Maybe asking for help still feels harder than doing everything yourself. You know the pattern, but knowing hasn't been enough to change it. Because sometimes the thing we keep trying to change is also the thing that once helped us feel safe. And when we understand what that pattern has been doing for us, we can start to loosen it
