When Love Feels

Like Too Much

A private podcast and companion workbook for people who carry the emotional weight of their relationships

What this is

You’ve already taken the hardest step — slowing down long enough to notice that something in your relationships isn’t working the way it used to.

This private podcast is a space to understand what’s happening in your nervous system, why you feel responsible for keeping the peace, and how to begin finding balance again — without fixing, explaining, or disappearing.

This is for you if...

You feel responsible for managing other people’s emotions

You overexplain, overthink, or over-function to keep connection intact

You notice your body gets tense, numb, or flooded in relationships

You want insight that lives in your body, not just your head

You’re not looking for homework — just a place to start listening to yourself

What's Inside

This series includes five private audio episodes, each paired with gentle reflection and simple nervous-system practices you can use in real life.

Episode 1: You’re Not Crazy — You’re Over-Functioning

See the invisible pattern behind over-functioning in relationships, how your nervous system fuses with others’ emotions, and what it means to start separating your calm from theirs.

Episode 2: The Emotional Labor Loop

Understand the quiet work of managing moods, anticipating reactions, and softening truths — and why this drains your energy even when you care deeply.

Episode 3: Fight, Flight, Freeze… or Fix

Learn how your nervous system protects connection during conflict, and why “fixing” often shows up before you even realize you’re activated.

Episode 4: When You Lose Yourself in Love

Explore how shape-shifting happens slowly, what it costs over time, and how to begin coming back to yourself without pulling away.

Episode 5: You’re Not Asking for Too Much

Clarify the difference between needs and triggers, and how to tell — in your body — when you’re reaching your limit.

Plus: The Companion Workbook

A printable workbook designed to help you reflect, notice patterns, and practice micro-pauses — without pressure or perfection.
