    The 10-Minute Evening Ritual That Actually Works

    You’ve probably tried a night routine before candles, chamomile, journalling and still found yourself wide awake, scrolling at midnight. In this episode, I share a realistic 10-minute ritual that actually helps your nervous system unwind. We move through four simple stages: dim the lights and ditch the phone, do a brain “dump and release” on paper, anchor into the body with a warm wash or face rinse, and end with slow breath and three tiny gratitudes. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being consistent. I explain why predictability calms the nervous system far more than any ritual ever could. This episode is a gentle nudge to stop overcomplicating rest and start creating a nightly cue of safety your body can trust. If you’ve been stuck in the scroll-shame cycle, this is your exit ramp.

    The Quiet Signs of Burnout You Might Be Ignoring

    Burnout doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it’s subtle. In this episode, I talk about the signs that often go unnoticed the flat joy, the small irritations, the decision fatigue that makes picking a sandwich feel like a major life event. I walk you through how these quiet symptoms are your body’s early warning signals signs that your nervous system is stretched thin. Things like snapping over small things, emotional numbness, and your pleasure response fading. We talk about how to respond before full burnout hits. I guide you to start “micro-replenishing”, one nourishing meal, one early night, one small joy with no expectations. Like watering a plant that’s been running on condensation. This one is your reminder that recovery doesn’t always need a crash to begin. If life feels like it’s in grayscale, that’s your cue to soften early, not collapse later.

    How to Stop Overthinking (Without Turning Off Your Brain)

    If your brain loves to spiral, replaying conversations, catastrophising outcomes, or writing imaginary arguments you win three days later,this episode is for you. I explain why overthinking isn’t a mindset flaw. It’s a body cue. Overthinking is what happens when your nervous system doesn’t feel safe. So your brain tries to compensate by “solving” everything in advance. That’s not logic it’s anxiety in disguise. We walk through a few powerful tools to disrupt the spiral. First, naming the pattern (“Ah, I’m problem-solving for safety”) helps interrupt it. Then we move into the body: shaking, stretching, even walking helps discharge the energy fuelling the thoughts. I also share the 3-3-3 grounding reset a fast, easy technique to bring you out of the mental movie and back into the present. Because the goal isn’t to think less it’s to feel more. That’s where your calm lives. You can grab your copy of The Calm Planner here

    Why You Keep Saying “I’m Fine” (When You’re Really Not)

    In this episode, we’re looking at the autopilot answer we all give, “I’m fine” and what it’s really covering up. I share how I used to say it so often it became a reflex, even when I was completely numb inside. Because the truth is, “fine” isn’t a feeling. It’s a defence mechanism. I explain how your nervous system uses “fine” to stay functional when honesty feels unsafe and how over time, it disconnects you from what’s actually going on inside. We talk about how to break the habit gently, starting with small, honest swaps. Instead of “fine,” try “I’m tired but hopeful.” Or “I’m stretched but managing.” These aren’t dramatic. They’re human. You’ll also hear why starting with the body (not the mind) is key. I guide you through a simple self-check-in that helps you notice what your body is feeling tightness, heaviness, restlessness and why that opens the door to real regulation. This episode is your invitation to stop performing wellness and start practising real connection with yourself first. You can grab your copy of The Calm Planner here

    The Secret Power of Slowing Down, Without Losing Momentum

    If you’ve been afraid that slowing down will make everything fall apart, I made this episode for you. I open up about the time I got sick and was forced to stop and how, to my surprise, nothing collapsed. In fact, when I came back, I was more creative than I’d been in months. We explore the myth that success equals speed, and I explain what really happens when we’re stuck in a cycle of adrenaline-fuelled urgency. I offer practical ways to begin slowing down without feeling like you’re falling behind including a simple five-second pause before each task, and adding one tiny “slow ritual” to your day. This isn’t about doing less. It’s about choosing how you do things from a place of clarity, not panic. Calm doesn’t kill momentum. It protects it. You can grab your copy of The Calm Planner here
