Do you try to fix or suppress your anger, and feel guilty if you can't? Many of us have been taught to see anger as shameful, unprofessional, or even dangerous. As a result, we bottle it up, push it down, and try to ignore it. The cost of burying anger is emotional exhaustion and disconnection from ourselves.

My guest this week is Krista St-Germain, a grief expert and coach for widowed moms. She teaches other widows how to love life again after a tragic change in circumstances, which makes Krista the perfect guest to discuss agency and living with intention, even in the face of things that we cannot control.

Discover the power of your narrative about your feelings and the life-changing concepts that helped Krista through grief. Krista shares her valuable perspective on grief and loss, her experience in therapy versus getting coached, and the tools she uses with her clients who are in the thick of grief and big feelings.

Did you know that you are one human made up of multiple personalities, or parts, that interact internally, much like people interact in the external world? This is what Internal Family Systems (IFS) teaches us. These parts are responsible for the bulk of your habits, so when you understand these parts or personalities better, you have the secret to understanding your habits.

This week, discover how your habits can be explained as thoughts, feelings, and actions that originate from distinct parts of yourself. I'm giving you an overview of IFS, and sharing a practical exercise that will help you notice and name the parts of yourself that contribute to your specific habits.

Do you ever feel like your to-do list is a never-ending source of stress and frustration? You're not alone. Despite our best efforts, it's all too common to end the day feeling behind and overwhelmed, even if we've accomplished a lot.

In this episode, you'll learn how to do a reality check on your list, ensure you're not falling into the trap of magical thinking, and infuse your day with a sense of ease and focus. If you're ready to break free from the tyranny of an overwhelming to-do list, this episode is for you.

How can you overcome habits that insidiously take more than they give? In this episode, I explore three common habits that quietly create unnecessary stress: multitasking, shoehorning too much into too little time, and holding too tightly to an original plan even when a better option becomes available. These patterns often feel reasonable in the moment, but they can leave us feeling overwhelmed, rigid, and stuck.

I introduce a simple but powerful tool called a tiny experiment. Rather than trying to overhaul your habits overnight, tiny experiments help you test small, manageable changes that feel safe enough to actually try. Whether you're constantly multitasking, overcommitting your schedule, or struggling to adjust when circumstances change, this approach can help you gather new information and build trust in alternative ways of doing things.
