What if healing doesn't have to happen all at once? In this episode, we're diving deep into the concept of your "emotional container" - your current capacity to hold and process difficult feelings without becoming overwhelmed. Whether you're a creative struggling with procrastination, a parent at your breaking point, or someone who looks like they have it all together while secretly struggling, this conversation will change how you approach your healing journey.

We'll explore what your emotional container actually is, how to recognize when it needs adjusting, and the revolutionary "nibble and gorge" approach that makes healing sustainable. You'll learn practical strategies for expanding, shrinking, or reinforcing your container based on what you need right now, plus real-world applications for creatives, parents, couples, entrepreneurs, and goal setters.

This episode is perfect for anyone dealing with trauma, grief, triggers, high-functioning depression or anxiety, and creative blocks. It's time to work with your system instead of against it.

Topics covered:

  • Understanding your emotional container
  • Signs your container needs attention
  • The nibble and gorge healing approach
  • Creative procrastination and emotional overwhelm
  • High-functioning depression and anxiety
  • Daily container management strategies
  • Setting boundaries based on your capacity
