Trying to “just do it” when you’re feeling intense emotions about a task or project rarely works.
Fighting against yourself usually leads to more stress, anxiety, and angst.
In this episode, I’m joined by fellow coach Sarah Yost—who I call the “emotions queen”— to talk about why and how to regulate when we’re feeling overwhelmed with emotions…and why she never recommends pushing through.
She also shares a profound insight about why joining a coaching program like mine can create more negative emotions, like shame, in the beginning.
Listen in as we discuss:
- How losing your keys, misplacing a phone charger, and not showing up on time are external reflections of internal patterns
- Why having a simple action plan can actually exacerbate—instead of alleviate—shame
- A study on learned helplessness
- Simple ways to get out of fight or flight mode and back to work
Sarah Yost is an emotions coach for ADHD and neurodivergent people. She’ll help you feel way less anxious and way more at home with yourself through understanding, processing and working with your emotions. Find her here.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
