In this episode, we're building an emotional toolkit for something a lot of us are dealing with: overwhelm.
That feeling of too much coming at you at once. The pressure to get everything right with your health, your work, your relationships and still feel like you're just about keeping your head above water.
If you've ever struggled to switch off at night, felt constantly on edge or caught yourself spiralling in your own thoughts, this is for you.
Today's guest: Dr Julie Smith 🧠
Dr Julie (@drjulie on Instagram) is a clinical psychologist and one of the most trusted voices in mental health online. Her latest book “Open When” is one of the best tools I've come across for navigating the harder moments in life. It went straight to number one and is a New York Times Bestseller.
We cover:
- What overwhelm feels like
- Early warning signs you’re at full capacity
- Social media, comparison and people pleasing
- The inner critic and how to change that voice
- Simple tools to regulate emotions in real time
- How to create space for your brain in a noisy world
You'll come away with a few simple tools you can use straight away. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.
If you're more of a visual person, the analogy Dr Julie shows us on YouTube is one I won't forget 👇
