Have you ever snapped over something small—and then wondered, What is wrong with me?
If you’ve been feeling overstimulated, emotionally exhausted, or on edge lately, this episode is for you.

In Stop Snapping: 5 Gentle Calm Habits, we’re talking about what’s really happening beneath reactivity—and why it’s not a character flaw, but a sign that your nervous system is overloaded. Rooted in Psalm 34:18, this conversation offers a gentle way back to steadiness when your patience feels thin and your emotions feel loud.

Inside this episode, you’ll discover:

  • Why reactivity is a capacity issue—not a spiritual failure
  • A simple pause that helps you respond instead of react
  • How to name emotions without letting them take over
  • One boundary sentence that protects your peace before resentment builds
  • Why repairing quickly keeps hard days from turning into hard weeks
  • A supportive journaling practice to process emotions without spiraling

This episode is especially for the woman who’s been holding it together for everyone else—and feels tired of apologizing for being human.

You’ll also be invited to download the Boundary Scripts Card Deck, a calm, practical resource filled with ready-to-use phrases that help you set boundaries without overexplaining—perfect for moments when your energy is low and your words are hard to find.

This isn’t about fixing yourself.
 It’s about learning how to return to your breath, your body, and God’s closeness.
