About this listen

What if the worst thing you could say to someone in a meltdown is “calm down”?

What if is also the worst thing we can hear? Especially as women? Especially in mid-life?


In this episode, we unpack the neuroscience behind emotional overwhelm and why logic fails when your nervous system is under threat.


You’ll learn how hearing "calm down" unravels us even further in difficult moments, and what actually helps in moments of intensity— and how to reclaim your emotional power without silencing yourself.
