In this week's episode, I'm addressing something that so many women struggle with quietly: feeling responsible for everyone else's emotions. Whether you grew up as the peacemaker in a volatile home or you've just always been the one who fixes things for everyone, this pattern of emotional enmeshment keeps you stuck in survival mode.

You'll discover why trying to regulate everyone else leaves no one regulating you, how to build emotional boundaries without pushing people away, and practical tools for staying rooted in your own nervous system when someone else is spinning out. Most importantly, you'll learn that growing your emotional capacity - not shrinking your feelings - is the key to breaking free from this exhausting pattern.

Everyone else seems fine. So why does this season feel so heavy for you?

Let’s talk about why your emotional experience of summer is valid — and why it’s not your fault.

On today's Take Back Your Summer free, live coaching call, you’ll learn:

• How your nervous system experiences “freedom” as chaos
• Why you feel like you’re failing at something everyone else enjoys
• What’s actually going on when your body wants to tap out before noon

Summer can be a lot when you're sensitive, neurodivergent, or simply wired to experience the world deeply. The lack of routine, constant sensory input, and the pressure to “be fun” can quickly turn what should be a carefree season into a full-blown performance.

But here’s the truth: having a burnout-free summer isn't about changing your mindset or pushing through. What you really need is a softer structure—one that works with your nervous system, not against it.

In this episode, I’m sharing a three-part framework to help you create anchors (not rigid routines), build in buffers for self-regulation, and identify what’s truly "bonus" based on your actual capacity. When you stop performing summer and start structuring it for your specific needs, you create a season you can truly enjoy.

When you find yourself scrolling through your phone instead of spending time with family, or lying in bed when it's beautiful outside, your body has figured out something you haven't yet. You are stressed out, checked out, and shut down.

In this episode, I explore why so many women feel stuck in shutdown mode, especially during summer when expectations are high and routines are out the window. I break down how even positive experiences like beach days and family barbecues can dysregulate sensitive nervous systems, and why motivation is terrible fuel that will only create more stress. By the end, you'll understand how to work with your shutdown responses instead of fighting them, and create a summer that actually works for your brain and body.
