đď¸ Welcome back to The Perinatal Podcast, Listener Darlings!
Today, we're diving into the real-life tug-of-war between being productive and finding peace â and why giving yourself permission to slow down might just be the most powerful move you make this week.
We'll talk about the ways social interactions and self-talk are secretly running the show when it comes to executive functioning (spoiler: your inner voice matters a lot). Plus, weâll explore activation discomfort, why it feels so hard to get started sometimes â and the sweet sense of relief that can follow when you push through.
Ever wonder if you should say âIâm sorryâ or maybe... âthank youâ instead? Weâll unpack that too, along with how to reprogram your autopilot behaviors, why stages of change are not a straight line, and the magic that happens when you replace all-or-nothing thinking with a mix of structure and flexibility.Oh, and yes â weâre definitely going to talk about doom scrolling (because weâve all been there).
Grab your tea, your cozy socks, or your walking shoes â letâs get into it!
