If you’ve ever…

  • Eaten half a packet of biscuits before realising you’d started
  • Said yes to helping someone when you didn’t have the time or energy
  • Stayed up scrolling when you were desperate for sleep

…then you’ve experienced what I call “over” behaviours.

In this episode, we talk about the habits that feel like too much - overeating, overgiving, overthinking, overscheduling, overdoing - and why they’re so hard to stop, even when you want to.

I’ll share real examples from my clients and my own life, explain the link between stress and these habits, and show you how to spot the need underneath the behaviour.

You’ll learn:

  • Why these patterns show up when life feels overwhelming
  • How your nervous system drives these habits
  • Simple ways to start responding differently, without relying on willpower
