25: Why I Don’t Teach "Coping Skills" Anymore

Today I’m sharing why I’ve stopped using the term coping skills—and what I believe we actually need instead. For women like us—deep feelers, people-pleasers, moms carrying too much—coping often feels like white-knuckling. Like surviving, not healing. In this episode, I talk about: Why your emotions aren’t too much—they’re messengers How to soothe your nervous system instead of “fixing” your feelings A simple practice to support yourself in the moment (hand over heart, exhale—it’s magic) How I’m breaking generational cycles around emotional shame This episode is for the woman who’s tired of shrinking, tired of stuffing her feelings, and so ready to come home to herself.
