And we're back after a mini break with a brand new episode.

In this episode, I’m speaking to high-functioning women who look fine on the outside but feel tense, switched on, and disconnected inside. You might be self-aware and insightful, yet still struggle to feel settled in your body or safe in your nervous system.

We explore why understanding your patterns isn’t always enough, and how many women stay stuck in their heads instead of moving into embodiment and integration. I talk about how perfectionism and imposter syndrome link to self-worth, and why high achievement often comes with quiet emotional disconnection.

Christmas has a way of bringing old family dynamics straight back to the surface.

Even if you’ve done the work. Even if you’re self-aware. Even if you usually cope well.

In this replay of one of my most listened-to episodes, I talk through practical, realistic ways to think about boundaries with family at Christmas. Especially when the dynamics are emotionally immature, critical, or draining.

This episode is for you if:
• You feel activated around family, even when you wish you wouldn’t
• You struggle to hold boundaries without guilt or over-explaining
• You end Christmas feeling exhausted, resentful, or like you’ve lost yourself
• You’re high-functioning, capable, and tired of just “pushing through”

This isn’t about cutting people off or becoming emotionally cold.

It’s about understanding why family triggers land so deeply. And how to protect your emotional energy without abandoning yourself.

If Christmas is already feeling like a lot, this episode is here to support you.

Therapy is changing. 2026 is going to look very different for anyone who’s already on a healing journey. This episode breaks down what those changes actually mean for you.

We talk about the rise of real connection in therapy. More relational work. More collective healing. Less of the “fix yourself alone” mindset that kept so many women stuck in burnout.

We also get honest about AI. It’s growing fast. It can be useful. It’s not therapy. I explain why big tech is pushing into the mental health world. The impact it’s having on clients and therapists. And what to look out for so your healing doesn’t get reduced to another tech product.

You’ll also hear why therapy is becoming more normal, more accessible. And why that shift matters if you grew up holding everything together and trying not to take up space.

If you’re navigating high-functioning anxiety, attachment wounds or childhood trauma. This episode will help you understand what’s coming. And how to stay grounded in support that’s actually human.
