A Simple Way to Slow Down an Overthinking Spiral in the Moment

If your brain goes from 0 to 100 the second something feels “off” ... if you replay conversations, wait for texts, or feel that frantic “I have to fix this” energy... this episode is for you! In today's podcast I’m walking you through a simple, science‑backed breathing tool you can use right now to slow down an anxious spiral and bring your nervous system back online.
This is the tool I personally use when:
• I feel the urge to check my phone
• My thoughts start racing
• My body feels buzzy, panicky, or unsafe
• My anxious attachment is running the show
Inside this episode, you’ll learn:
✨ Why anxiety and anxious attachment thrive on speed
✨ What a “psychological sigh” is and how it calms your nervous system
✨ A step‑by‑step breathing technique to use when you’re spiraling
✨ The difference between calming a symptom vs. rewiring the system
And I’m also going to be real with you: This tool will slow the spiral, but it won’t heal anxious attachment by itself. That happens when you change the system your nervous system is running on.
That’s exactly what we do inside Healing Girl Gang through reps, structure, and real‑life nervous system retraining, not just mindset hacks.
And just know: You are not broken.
You are not too much.
Your nervous system learned a pattern... and it can learn a new one.

Why You Get More Anxious the More You Focus on Your Relationship

If you’ve ever said *“I’m gonna be the BEST partner ever and do all the right things”… and then wondered why you still feel anxious, on edge, or like you're constantly spiraling... this episode is for you.
Today, I’m breaking down why over-focusing on your relationship is actually making you feel less secure, more anxious, and totally disconnected from yourself.
Inside this episode, we dive into:
💔 The sneaky anxious attachment loop that leads to emotional burnout
🔁 Why logic alone won’t soothe your nervous system
🧠 How hyper-focusing on your partner creates fragility in your relationship
📱 The role your phone (yep!) plays in your spirals
🌱 What “watering your own garden” actually looks like when you have anxious tendencies
Plus, I share a personal story about going to the movies alone (and loving it!) something old-me would never have done, and why this tiny moment marked a huge healing milestone.
This episode is part love letter, part wake-up call and it’s the kind of grounded nervous system reframe I wish I had years ago. If you’re an anxious achiever, a closeted overfunctioner, or a recovering people-pleaser who’s tired of trying to “fix” your relationship by fixing yourself... listen to this one all the way through. There’s no shame here, just clarity, tools, and space to breathe again. 👇
Let me know in the comments if this hit home, and say “girlgang” if you’re ready to rewire this pattern with me inside The Healing Girl Gang.

How To Stay Grounded When Their Mood or Distance Triggers Your Anxiety

In today’s episode I’m breaking down why your nervous system reacts so intensely to your partner’s mood, distance, or emotional shifts... and more importantly, how to stay grounded instead of spiraling. This one is especially for my high‑achieving, high‑functioning girlies who are crushing it at work… but feel like they’re one unread message away from losing their peace in love.
We’re talking about:
✨ Why “the vibes feel off” can completely derail your nervous system
✨ The difference between reacting from fear vs responding from regulation
✨ Why reassurance only works temporarily (and what actually creates safety)
✨ How anxious attachment keeps you stuck trying to outthink or outwork your emotions
✨ The nervous system mistake high achievers make in relationships
✨ How to stay grounded (even when there is distance, silence, or uncertainty)
I also share personal updates around my upcoming hysterectomy and how physical discomfort, overstimulation, and stress lower our emotional threshold - making relationship anxiety feel louder and harder to manage. (Spoiler: this isn’t about “doing more,” it’s about reducing the load.)
Plus, I’m celebrating a HUGE win from a client who is navigating dating without losing herself! Proof that healing anxious attachment isn’t about perfection, it’s about recommitment.
Sending you so much love, Clare 🤍

What Happens When You Keep Saying "I'm Fine" When You're Really Not

You say “I’m fine”… But your stomach’s in knots. Your voice is quieter than usual. You’re spinning in your head while trying to act chill on the outside. Sound familiar?
In this episode, I’m breaking down what really happens in your body, your brain, and your relationships when you keep pretending everything’s okay… especially when it’s not! This is for the high-achieving girlies who can hold it all together at work, but are overthinking up a storm in their relationships. The ones who’ve been told they’re “too much” and the ones who’ve been praised for being “so strong” (but you’re exhausted). 🫠 Yeah, this one’s for you.
We’ll talk about:
✨ What your nervous system is doing when you default to “I’m fine”
✨ Why this pattern is common for anxiously attached, people-pleasing girlies like us.
✨ How to gently shift toward safety, visibility, and actually being known

How We Talked through Something Scary without Pushing Each Other Away

We’ve always agreed we didn’t want kids.
But suddenly, with a hysterectomy on the table…
I felt wobbly.
And there was this tiny part of me whispering, “If I bring up my 'unsureness'… is everything going to change?” In my past relationships, feeling unsure or changing my mind felt like a no-go zone.

I could be decisive and confident everywhere else… (hello career overachiever with receipts) 
but inside my relationships, I was terrified that my truth would ruin everything. My inner perfectionist would jump straight into action:
“Nothing to see here! I’m calm! I’m chill!”

Meanwhile my body was in a full panic on the inside. And the thing I learned the hard way in those old push-pull dynamics was this:
the more honest I was (with him and myself), the closer we became.
Pretending never protected anything 🚨NEWS FLASH🚨 it just protects our fear. So when I finally got real with Craig about how this news made me feel…
how something inside of me shifted around the idea of kids now that the option might be taken away…
he didn’t freak out.
He didn’t it shut down.
He didn’t make it weird. He listened.

He stayed with me.
He held the moment instead of turning away from it. And that’s when it hit me more clearly than ever hiding never helps.
It only hurts. Because the second you start censoring yourself to “keep the peace,” the peace is already gone.
You can’t stay connected AND abandon yourself at the same time.
Changing your mind isn’t wrong.
Feeling something new isn’t wrong.
Saying it out loud is what keeps you close, to your partner and to yourself.

Why Stillness Feels Unsafe When You Have Relationship Anxiety

This week, we’re diving deep into a topic I know hits home for so many high-achieving, anxious girlies: why stillness can feel so unsafe when you have relationship anxiety.
If you ever catch yourself spiraling because the vibe feels “off,” or if a little space in communication has you convinced the whole relationship is doomed…this episode is for you.
Inside this episode, I’m sharing:
✨ Why anxious attachment makes rest and stillness feel dangerous
✨ How I learned to stop overfunctioning and start receiving love (hint: it took surgery and a lot of surrender)
✨ What my explant and fibroid journeys taught me about safety, slowing down, and trusting myself
✨ The belief I had to UNLEARN in order to feel secure in my body and my relationships  
✨ Why stillness is a skill (especially if you grew up in a high-pressure, achievement-driven household)  
✨ How I support Healing Girl Gang members in rewiring their nervous systems for safety and self-trust
✨ A powerful listener Q&A about breaking the cycle of anxious spiraling in a secure relationship
Whether you’re a career rockstar, business owner, or have a few letters behind your name (MD, RN, Esq, PhD…) — and yet still feel like a mess when someone doesn’t text back, you’re in the right place.
This episode isn’t about fixing you... it’s about helping you feel safe enough to finally rest, receive, and trust yourself and your partner. If you’re ready to learn how to stop self-sabotaging and start feeling safe in love, hit play.
