    99. The Real Reason You Talk Too Much When You’re Nervous

    Do you ever walk away from a conversation feeling exhausted because you said way more than you meant to? In this episode of Speak Honest, we unpack the real reason you talk too much when you’re nervous. This isn’t about learning to “say less” or fixing your communication. It’s about understanding the story underneath your urge to overexplain, the fear of being misunderstood, and the quiet self judgment that kicks in when connection feels shaky. I’ll walk you through why overexplaining is actually a nervous system protection strategy and how to shift it by questioning the story instead of performing for understanding. You might want to listen if: • You replay conversations in your head wondering why you said so much  • You overexplain when you’re late, emotional, or afraid of being judged  • You feel a surge of panic when silence shows up in conversations  • You struggle to trust that your words can be simple and still be enough  • You want to communicate calmly without feeling exposed or unsafe FIND OUT MORE!

    98. How Secure Attachment Is Built in Early Childhood | My Conversation with Devon Kuntzman

    What happens after you lose control as a parent… and why that moment matters more than you think? In this episode, I sit down with parenting expert and ICF-Certified coach Devon Kuntzman for an honest conversation about rupture, repair, and how secure attachment is actually built. We explore why losing control doesn’t damage attachment, how repair calms the nervous system, and what children truly need after emotional moments. We also take this conversation deeper, looking at how the same repair process applies when you’re reparenting your own inner child. If you didn’t grow up with emotional repair, this episode offers a compassionate roadmap for learning how to come back to yourself after mistakes, overwhelm, or self-criticism. This episode is a reminder that secure attachment isn’t about perfection. It’s about consistency, safety, and the willingness to return to connection, with your child and with yourself. You might want to listen if:  You feel intense guilt after losing your patience as a parent You’re healing your own attachment wounds while raising children You want to understand how repair builds secure attachment You struggle with self-criticism after emotional moments You’re learning how to reparent your inner child with compassionFIND OUT MORE!

    Have you ever wondered why the tiniest thing can send your whole body into a spiral even when nothing big is actually happening? In this coaching call with Cordelia, we dig into what is really happening underneath those overwhelming somatic responses and why your nervous system reacts long before your logical mind can catch up.
