My love,
You know the moment.
The ping lands, you see who it’s from, your stomach drops… and suddenly your whole body is bracing. Again.
Even before you’ve opened the message, you’re already in it.
* The urgency loop.
* The “I need to fix this now.”
* The fear that if you don’t respond immediately, something will get worse.
And it’s not just annoying — it steals your joy and your day.
It pulls you out of your work, out of your parenting, out of sleep.
And it pushes you towards the kind of reply that doesn’t feel like you — rushed, reactive, over-explaining, people-pleasing… or freezing and spiralling for hours.
In today’s episode, I share the one boundary I want you to remember the next time this happens. Plus:
* a simple “pause” practice
* and a next-step question that brings you back to steady (without pretending you’re fine).

This Friday we’re doing calm-first triage for the exact moment:
“When your ex texts & your body panics.”

You’ve got this. And I’ve got you.
