Key takeaways:- Your threat brain takes over when you're stressed — having tangible tools ready short-circuits the spiral- The mammalian dive reflex: cold water and sour flavors literally reset your nervous system- Build a kit: sensory reset items + self-soothing items + pre-made decisions- Start with three things. Make them visible. Iterate from there.

Episode 64 - The Signs of a Toxic Relationship
Join Kyle and Kelsey for an honest conversation about the quiet signs of a toxic relationship. Not all toxicity is loud or obvious — some of it shows up as exhaustion after spending time with someone, constantly editing yourself to keep the peace, or feeling like your feelings are always "too much." This episode explores the patterns that drain us and the permission we need to walk away.
Key topics covered:- How you feel after spending time with someone- The self-editing trap- When invalidation becomes a pattern- The slow isolation from friends and family- Why "you're too sensitive" is not communication- Trusting your own experience

This gentle episode invites listeners to ask a simple but powerful question: “When do I feel most loved?”
