185: For the Ones Who Are Overwhelmed and Tempted to People-Please — A Real-Time Practice to Help You Return to God’s Loving Presence

If you’ve ever found yourself wide awake at night replaying a conversation

If you spiral through guilt after setting even the gentlest boundary

If you carry everyone else’s emotions while losing sight of your own

You’re in good company.

In today’s episode, Dr. Alison shares personally about these moments in her own life and guides you through a real-time practice you can do right where you are.

It’s the most effective tool we’ve found to help when overwhelm rises, when you’re tempted to slip back into people-pleasing, or when conflict sends your nervous system into overdrive.

Instead of overthinking, overanalyzing, or pushing your feelings aside, this practice helps you:

• Notice what’s happening inside with kindness
• Connect with the part of you that’s working overtime to keep you safe
• Offer compassion to your own soul — the same compassion you extend so easily to others
• Invite God’s loving, steady presence into the places that feel tangled, tense, or afraid
