    The Mask Behind Burnout

    Episode 28: The Mask Behind Burnout | Neurodivergent Parenting, Overstimulation & What Nobody Sees Behind Closed Doors Have you ever looked like you’re handling everything on the outside while feeling completely overwhelmed on the inside? In this episode of Untangled with Kameo Briscoe, I’m opening up about the mask so many of us wear, especially when we’re parenting, navigating neurodivergence, or simply trying to keep up with everyday life. We talk about what masking can look like, how ADHD and neurodivergence can affect our capacity, and why constant noise, interruptions, responsibilities, and emotional demands can leave us feeling completely drained. I’ll also share what burnout can look like behind closed doors, why needing space doesn’t make you a bad parent, and how sometimes the people who seem to be holding everything together are struggling the most. This conversation isn’t just for parents or neurodivergent people. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt the pressure to keep going, even when they have nothing left to give. Because sometimes, the hardest part of burnout is feeling like you have to hide it. In this episode, we explore: Neurodivergent masking and the pressure to appear okayADHD, overstimulation, and emotional exhaustionThe hidden signs of burnoutWhy rest doesn’t always feel restfulParenting while managing your own emotional needsThe guilt that can come with needing spaceLearning to recognize your limits and ask for supportYou don’t have to be at your breaking point to deserve a break.

    Boundaries | Why Saying No Feels So Hard

    Episode 27: Boundaries | Why Saying No Feels So Hard Have you ever said yes when every part of you wanted to say no? Maybe you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or simply don’t have the capacity—but you’re afraid of disappointing someone. In this episode of Untangled with Kameo Briscoe, we’re talking about boundaries, people-pleasing, guilt, emotional exhaustion, and learning how to choose yourself without feeling selfish. I’m sharing my own struggles with overgiving, being overly available, taking on other people’s emotions, and feeling like I need to explain myself when I set a boundary. We’ll untangle: • Why saying no can feel so uncomfortable
• People-pleasing and the fear of disappointing others
• Why guilt doesn’t always mean you’ve done something wrong
• The difference between boundaries and controlling others
• Overgiving your time, energy, and emotional support
• Why you don’t have to explain yourself over and over
• How to handle other people’s disappointment
• Setting boundaries in friendships, family, marriage, and everyday life
• Creating healthier, more reciprocal relationships
• The importance of setting boundaries with yourself, too A boundary isn’t a punishment. It isn’t about controlling someone else. It’s about deciding what you are willing to participate in—and protecting your own emotional health when something no longer works for you. And sometimes the hardest boundary to set is the one that finally says: “I can’t keep abandoning myself just to keep everyone else comfortable.” If you’ve been struggling with boundaries, people-pleasing, burnout, or feeling responsible for everyone else’s emotions, I hope this episode reminds you that having needs doesn’t make you selfish. 🤍 Next week: We’re going somewhere a little more vulnerable—neurodivergent parenting, masking, burnout, overstimulation, and what it can actually look like behind closed doors when you’re holding everything together until you finally can’t.

    Why We Keep Repeating the Same Patterns | Familiar Pain, Healthy Love & Learning to Do it different

    Episode 26: Why We Keep Repeating the Same Patterns | Familiar Pain, Healthy Love & Learning to Do Relationships Differently Have you ever looked at your relationships and thought, “Why do I keep ending up in the same situations?” Maybe you keep overgiving until you’re completely exhausted. Maybe you shut down when you feel misunderstood. Maybe you overthink when someone pulls away, take on other people’s emotions, or find yourself repeating relationship patterns you thought you’d already healed from. In this episode of Untangled with Kameo Briscoe, we’re talking about why we sometimes repeat familiar patterns in our friendships, family relationships, romantic relationships, and even in the way we relate to ourselves. I’ll share my own experiences with people-pleasing, overgiving, feeling misunderstood, emotional exhaustion, overthinking, and learning that familiar doesn’t always mean healthy. We’ll also talk about what healthy love actually looks like, why relationships don’t always have to be perfectly 50/50, how boundaries can help us break unhealthy cycles, and what I’ve learned through my own marriage about communication, respect, space, repair, and growing together. In this episode, we explore:
• Why we repeat relationship patterns
• Familiar pain vs. healthy relationships
• People pleasing and overgiving
• Feeling misunderstood and shutting down
• Emotional exhaustion and taking on other people’s emotions
• Overthinking, anxiety, and jumping to conclusions
• Boundaries and learning what you deserve
• Healthy love and reciprocal relationships
• Breaking old patterns through self-awareness and healing
• Learning to love without losing yourself You are not destined to repeat the relationships or patterns you’ve experienced. Sometimes healing begins with simply noticing the pattern. And once you see it, you can start choosing something different. 🤍 If this episode resonates with you, share it with someone who may need to hear this reminder too. Next week: We’re untangling boundaries—why saying no can feel so uncomfortable, why we feel responsible for other people’s reactions, and how to choose yourself without feeling guilty.

    When you outgrow people ( The grief of changing, healing & no longer fitting where you once did )

    🎙️ Episode 25: When You Outgrow People The Grief of Changing, Healing & No Longer Fitting Where You Once Did Have you ever looked at a relationship and thought, “Why doesn’t this feel the same anymore?” Maybe nothing dramatic happened. Nobody betrayed you. Nobody necessarily did anything wrong. But somehow… you’ve changed. In this episode of Untangled with Kameo Briscoe, we’re talking about the complicated reality of outgrowing people, relationships, and even old versions of ourselves. Because sometimes healing changes the way we see relationships. The boundaries we have. The things we tolerate. The way we communicate. And suddenly, relationships that once felt comfortable may not feel like they fit anymore. But does outgrowing someone mean they’re a bad person? Not always. Sometimes people simply grow in different directions. Sometimes a relationship has served its purpose. And sometimes the hardest person to let go of is the old version of you who spent years people-pleasing, staying quiet, over-explaining, or abandoning herself just to keep the peace. In this episode, we’ll talk about: • Why personal growth can change your relationships
• Why outgrowing someone doesn’t mean they’re toxic or bad
• The grief that comes with becoming a new version of yourself
• What happens when people don’t like your boundaries or the “new you”
• Why protecting your peace isn’t selfish
• Loving someone while still recognizing you need distance
• How to make space for the person you’re becoming
• Knowing when a relationship is no longer reciprocal
• Letting go without resentment or needing someone to be the villain You don’t have to hate who you used to be. You can thank her. She got you here. And you’re allowed to become someone new—even if not everyone understands the person you’re becoming. 🤍 If this episode resonates with you, share it with someone who may be navigating their own season of growth and change.

In this episode, we discuss: • Why we seek validation from others • Self-worth and confidence • People pleasing and fear of disappointing others • ADHD, rejection sensitivity, and overthinking • Feeling misunderstood and emotionally overwhelmed • Healing old wounds and building self-trust • Learning to protect your peace • Creating healthier relationships with yourself and others You don’t become enough when everyone finally understands you.

    Choosing Yourself Without Guilt ( Breaking the cycle of self abandonment & people pleasing )

    Have you ever felt guilty for saying no? Do you find yourself people-pleasing, over-explaining, avoiding conflict, or constantly putting everyone else’s needs ahead of your own? In this episode of Untangled with Kameo Briscoe, we’re talking about self-abandonment, boundaries, people pleasing, emotional exhaustion, and what it really means to choose yourself without guilt.

Together we’ll explore why setting boundaries feels so uncomfortable, how fear of rejection influences our relationships, and how healing begins when we stop carrying responsibilities that were never ours to hold. If you’ve ever struggled with guilt, codependency, boundary setting, self-worth, or putting yourself last, this episode is for you. Topics discussed: • People pleasing • Self-abandonment • Healthy boundaries • Codependency • Emotional healing • Self-worth • Relationships and communication • Personal growth and mental health Remember: choosing yourself isn’t selfish—it’s necessary.
