No. 50 Coping skills, emotional regulation + completing the stress cycle
What do you do when your self-care just isn’t cutting it? In this episode, we explore how to cope when your usual strategies feel flat, frustrating, or totally ineffective—and why that’s more common than you might think. Whether you’re burned out, stuck in a funk, or just over your usual routine, this one’s for you.
We cover:
Why your tools might not be working right now
Creative (and unconventional) ways to care for yourself
The difference between coping and avoiding
What to do when your body holds onto stress after your mind has let it go
Self-soothing strategies for when your comfort person isn’t available
Why coping doesn’t make you weak—it makes you human
Let this episode be a gentle check-in, not a judgment. You’re allowed to change, adapt, and find new ways to care for yourself as you grow.

Your prescription for living well, dose for this week: The skills for co-regulation + self-regulation are the same, it’s just if you are doing it with another person’s support or on your own. Experiencing regulation with another trusted person helps us know what regulation feels like in our body. As an adult, you can develop the resources to be able to soothe yourself on your own. Breath, loving touch, grounding, going outside into nature, laughing/humor can all help. Don’t wait until you are super activated to build the muscles you will need in times of activation. Build up your strength for the emotional waves come your way. 🌊💪🏼
