257. Self-Trust for Anxious Overthinkers: How to stop dress rehearsing tragedy Nov 25, 2025

Show notes

If you're stuck in a spiral of overthinking — replaying conversations, asking 15 friends what to do, imagining every worst-case scenario — this episode will feel like a deep exhale. Overthinking isn't you being "careful." It's a self-trust deficit. And that is a skill gap, not a character flaw. In this episode, I break down:

• Why anxious rumination feels so real and so urgent • How patriarchy, people-pleasing, and fear of rejection trained you not to trust yourself • The difference between careful planning and dress rehearsing tragedy • Why outsourcing decisions to friends keeps you stuck • What self-trust actually is (and why it's messy, imperfect, and learnable) • Tiny, doable steps to rebuild your self-trust today • How this plays out in dating, boundaries, and big life decisions • A framework to stop overthinking and start acting from your gut

If you've been doubting yourself for years — in your dating life, your friendships, your career, your boundaries — this episode will teach you how to finally have your own back. Self-trust is a skill. And you're about to learn it.

251. "Hope is scary", here's how to build it - Live coaching session Sep 23, 2025

Show notes

Taylor hasn't been in a relationship since she was 19. Now, at 31, after eight ghostings and countless near misses, she's wondering: "Why not me?"

In her words:

"Hope is scary."

In this episode, you'll learn:

💎 How to move from "I know the tools" to actually feeling them work

💎 What to do when self-compassion feels completely out of reach

💎 The thought error that keeps so many late bloomers stuck in shame

💎 Why practicing hope (even when scared) is the bravest dating move you can make

If you've ever felt behind, broken, or like dating is a hopeless slog—this one's for you.
