When Your Crankiness Takes Over

Send us a text

It’s no secret: You’re just NOT your best self when you're stressed and overstimulated. 

In this episode, I divulge the many things making me cranky these days, how I’m handling my emotions, and six overarching reminders to put things back in perspective.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

•  Why it’s essential to keep tabs on your cumulative stress and how it’s inevitably higher at certain times of the year than others
• The vicious trap of “keeping score” with your husband and convincing yourself you’re doing so much more than he is
• Why the psychological concept of “unconditional positive regard” is non-negotiable (for your benefit, not anyone else’s!)
• All kinds of times you should expect to have lower capacity and thus not handle stress well
• How even certified life coaches who’ve spent years doing the hard inner work to heal still get triggered more than you might think
