The Calm Mom - Burnout, Anxiety, Nervous System, Mindset, Self-Care, Parenting, Work-Life Balance

Let’s be real - when you're frustrated, annoyed, or sad, are you more likely to scroll, snack, or try to snap out of it rather than feel the feels?

In today’s episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on what it really means to numb and suppress emotions—and why it’s holding you back more than you think.
We’ll explore why emotional hygiene matters, the common ways we suppress our feelings, and 3 clear signs that you might be numbing out rather than truly feeling.

But we’re not stopping there. 🙌 I’ll guide you through tangible steps to start acknowledging, feeling, and actually moving through your emotions—without fear or judgment.

We’re talking about real, body-based ways to finally release what’s buried so you can show up lighter, clearer, and in control.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What emotional hygiene is and why it’s critical for your health & wellbeing.
• How common habits are actually ways of avoiding your emotions.
• Three key signs you’re suppressing emotions and simple practices to start honoring your feelings.

It’s time to stop numbing and start healing.
