  • Stop Overexplaining 19.08.2026 18m
    Do you ever find yourself talking, talking, talking…trying to explain your decision, your actions, your boundary? Hoping that if you talk enough, the other person will understand? Uh…me!!! And in this episode, I'll be talking about why so many of us women overexplain, how confidence is involved, how what happened in our childhood could be involved, how relationships with narcissists are involved, how it could be harming our relationships with our teens and young adults, and much more. Plus, I give you actual ways to stop. Ways that work! I had all those things going for me (the childhood trauma, narcissistic relationships, teens, confidence 🤯!) In this episode, we're talking about why so many women overexplain and how this habit often starts in childhood, when our feelings were questioned, dismissed, or misunderstood. If you learned that you had to justify your emotions to be accepted, it makes sense that you're still doing it today. The problem? Emotionally mature people don't need a long explanation to respect your choices. And emotionally immature or narcissistic people often use your explanations against you. I'll show you how overexplaining quietly drains your confidence, keeps you seeking validation, and makes it harder to communicate with calm authority. You'll learn why "because I want to" is often enough, how healthy relationships assume positive intent, and practical ways to answer with fewer words and more confidence. If you're ready to stop defending yourself and start trusting yourself, this episode is for you. In this episode, you'll learn: Why so many women feel the need to overexplain How childhood experiences can shape this communication habit The difference between emotionally mature and emotionally immature relationships Why overexplaining can fuel conflict with narcissistic people (and teens!) This episode will help you speak with more confidence, protect your peace, and remember that your feelings and choices don't need a lengthy defense. I got some ideas from Jefferson Fisher (expert trial lawyer) and added my own expertise. I really hope you'll listen in.    🎧 If you liked this episode, you'll like this one:  391: Three Gen X Blind Spots That Hurt Our Relationships and How to Heal Them on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/391-three-gen-x-blind-spots-that-hurt-our-relationships/id1434429161?i=1000770657456 391: Three Gen X Blind Spots That Hurt Our Relationships and How to Heal Them on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/2HK0olINBrKMTPwQRidXOO?si=WU8W50uXQsiBSC6deF89RA ⭐️ NEW ⭐️ Feeling confused or overwhelmed with where to begin?

  • Stop People Pleasing + Pretending: The Freedom to be YOU! 12.08.2026 23m
    How often do you say "It's fine" when it really isn't?  Or agreeing to something you don't want to do just to keep the peace? So many of us have become experts at pretending.  Pretending we're okay.  Pretending we don't have needs.  Pretending someone else's behavior doesn't bother us.  While those habits may have helped us as kids (or in our emotionally immature relationships), they hold us back as adults and women trying to be in supportive, emotionally safe and mature relationships. Pretending and people pleasing leave us feeling disconnected from people in our lives (not to mention exhausted!) In this episode of The Love Your Life Show, I come to you with a mid-year invitation to stop pretending and start choosing you.   You'll learn: Why people pleasing and pretending aren't personality traits, they're protective patterns How the "good girl" conditioning keeps so many women stuck What one of the top regrets of the dying can teach us about living today Simple ways to stop self-abandoning without becoming "selfish" How small moments of honesty build confidence and self-trust (and are the very things we need in our adult relationships and that we want to model for our preteens and teens!) If you're ready to stop performing, stop apologizing for things that aren't yours, and start living more in alignment with who you truly are, this episode is for you. The world doesn't need another exhausted woman pretending she's okay. It needs the real you.   🎧 If you liked this episode, you'll like this one:  People Pleasing and Lying on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/213-people-pleasing-and-lying/id1434429161?i=1000770657772 People Pleasing and Lying on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/0G207R5QM1oBD4u07od0Oh?si=QSM1XmuNQvSiLDRt5GsrxA ⭐️ NEW HERE ⭐️ Grab the free podcast roadmap here: https://smbwell.com/roadmap Want more than a podcast to listen to?

  • Making Friends as an Adult: The Skills We Were Never Taught 05.08.2026 48m
    In this week's episode, I'm joined by friendship expert, ADHD coach, and author Caroline Maguire to talk about the friendship skills most of us were never taught. We explore how past relational wounds, people-pleasing, fear of rejection, and even being easily distracted can impact our ability to build and maintain meaningful friendships. Caroline shares practical tools to help us stop performing for connection and start creating relationships that feel more genuine, supportive, and fulfilling. This was a super fun conversation (we found out she's living next to the small town I grew up in - I literally haven't met anyone who knew of my town since I was 18!). Plus the things we dove into were great!  Listen in to hear: How past friendship experiences may still be shaping your relationships today Why some people struggle to maintain friendships even when they deeply care The hidden role of rejection sensitivity and overthinking How people-pleasing and masking can get in the way of authentic connection Practical ways to deepen friendships during busy seasons of life What belonging actually feels like and how to create more of it Friendship isn't something we're supposed to know how to do. Like any skill, it can be learned, practiced, and strengthened. I  loved this conversation with Caroline and can't wait for you to listen.   If you liked this show, you'll like this one: Episode 354 How To Make Friends on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/354-how-to-make-friends/id1434429161?i=1000770657518 Episode 354 How To Make Friends on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/72IyJPMsdVFRbYLb1eGgq3?si=FcCkdHwxSwiO4DQ9kL4x-Q Get all the links we mentioned and connect with Caroline; go here👉🏾 https://SMBwell.com/418   Want more support? 📩 Subscribe to the weekly newsletter http://bit.ly/2gYQMlA so you never miss an episode. 👩🏼‍🎓Come join other women just like you (and make friends!)

  • What Do You Want? The Shift from Raising Kids to Rediscovering Yourself 29.07.2026 28m
    Warrior, when was the last time you asked yourself what you want? Not what your kids need. Not what your partner wants. Not what needs fixing. Not what everyone else expects of you. What do you want? For many of us, especially moms, focusing on everyone else starts as healthy and necessary. When our kids are little, they need us to prioritize their needs. And, as they grow, many of us never make the shift back. We keep organizing our lives around everyone else's wants, feelings, and goals while losing touch with our own. Then one day we wake up feeling restless, resentful, or like something is missing. In this episode, I'm talking about the healthy transition from considering and prioritizing their needs first to considering your needs also. It's not selfish. In fact, I've seen it be so harmful to family units when moms don't make this change that I argue it's selfish not to. Join me in this gentle, supportive episode to learn: Why so many midlife women struggle to answer the question, "What do I want?" How over-responsibility and people-pleasing disconnect us from ourselves Why your kids benefit when you reconnect with your own dreams and desires How a simple Life List can help you rediscover what lights you up Why it's never too late, and this is the perfect day to start. I can't wait for you to listen in. You have this one precious life, and what I find is that so many women support others in reaching their dreams or paying attention to their goals while whittling away their own time here living their lives.  You matter. Let me help you rediscover you and your spark! First step: listen in! Second, join me and let's make our LIFE LIST! https://smbwell.com/lifelist  I can't wait to help you turn up the volume so you can hear the wisdom that's been inside you all along.   🎧 If you liked this episode, you'll like this one: The Life List with Kate Christie on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/251-the-life-list-with-kate-christy/id1434429161?i=1000770657660 The Life List with Kate Christie on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/3secdHENHzVLqIsCCwDQay?si=AlsB20QFThKSXp9EgbNGeA ⭐️ NEW ⭐️ JOIN the ONCE A YEAR opportunity: https://smbwell.com/lifelist 🩷If you're confused as to whether you're in a safe relationship or not, let me help.

  • How to Raise Emotionally Intelligent Kids: Especially When They Have Big Feelings 22.07.2026 25m
    How do we raise emotionally intelligent kids? It's not what our instinct tells us! It's not by preventing them from having big feelings or to try to get them to think positively or see "the bright side". It's also not to expect them to not have emotions or to think that our big feeling kid is doing something wrong that needs to be fixed. Nope! And yet, that's what most of us were taught (for sure me!) and so that's how we parent until we learn differently. That's what this week and my mission is all about. I teach the emotional intelligence skills to adults so that they can parent from emotional regulation and raise emotionally intelligent kids.  Click play on this episode of the Love Your Life Show to learn: The two foundational building blocks of emotional intelligence Where feelings actually come from Why trying to fix your child's emotions often backfires How to teach your child to process feelings in a healthy way The simple three-step process: Name It, Describe It, Feel It Why emotional intelligence requires both support and boundaries How learning about emotional intelligence with a surfing metaphor helped me long before I lived by the beach in Australia!  If you've ever found yourself saying, "Don't be sad," "It'll be okay," or "Just think about it differently," this episode will help you approach your child's emotions in a completely new way. Because emotionally intelligent kids aren't kids who never have big feelings. They're kids who learn that feelings are safe, normal, and something they can move through. One parent at a time. Thanks for being that parent and listening to episodes like this. 🩷   Feeling confused or overwhelmed with where to begin? Let's chat!

  • Emotional Maturity: The Skill Most Were Never Taught 15.07.2026 22m
    What if one of the number one skills for feeling calmer, more confident, and more in control of your life was something you were never taught? If you're a genX, boomer, or early millennial, chances are…you weren't! Which is why, for this episode of the Love Your Life Show, I'm doing a masterclass on emotional maturity. Many of us grew up believing we were responsible for other people's feelings. We learned to keep the peace, make others happy, and avoid upsetting anyone around us. While those habits may have earned us praise by parents and friends, they eat away at your self concept and confidence. They exhaust us. Further, they lead to us feeling deeply lonely and often misunderstood. Think about it - if we believe as we're taught that "we're good if we do what they want", we disconnect from ourselves and our inner knowing while overly focusing on managing everyone else's emotions. And guess what, when we feel responsible for other people's feelings and moods, we are highly influenced by others' moods. We might feel like we're walking on eggshells or always waiting to see what he or she will be thinking and feeling. It's a very anxiety-ridden and out-of-control feeling. I know, because I lived 4 decades like this. Which is why I'm thrilled to bring you this masterclass teaching on emotional maturity. I have found that it's the secret to feeling more confident and in control of your life. I really hope you'll listen in.  Because goodness knows - those teenagers are going to be moody. Those husbands are going to be grumpy. Those moms are going to be needy…   In this episode, you'll learn: What emotional maturity actually is (and why it has very little to do with age) The three foundational skills that make up emotional maturity Why other people's moods can feel so overwhelming How to stay connected to yourself when someone else is upset, disappointed, or frustrated The emotional maturity gap many Gen X women were never taught to close If you've ever found yourself worrying about everyone else, taking responsibility for other people's feelings, or feeling completely thrown off by someone else's reaction, this episode is for you. 🎧 If you liked this episode, you'll like this one:  Emotional Intelligence 101 on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/12-emotional-intelligence-101/id1434429161?i=1000770658074   Emotional Intelligence 101 on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/3GWK2i77mU4zmwwAVd3tc4?si=CwDPd1UsSAGCijiS57vxxg   👉🏽 Get your question answered on the show and become a PATREON here: https://smbwell.com/patreon 📩 Don't miss out: Get weekly wellness tips, episode updates, giveaways and links to things I love each Wednesday: https://SMBwell.com/newsletter ⭐️Get on Coach Susie's one-on-one schedule here: https://smbwell.com/work-with-me/ 🤓FIRST TIME LISTENER?

  • Empty Nest: How To Prepare Yourself and Your Kids (Best of the Podcast) 08.07.2026 23m
    Re-airing this one because your messages told me you needed it. Here's the part of parenting nobody prepares you for. If you do your job well, you raise humans who don't need you anymore. That's the goal. And it can feel brutal. What I've learned, and what I teach, is that we don't actually want them to need us. We want them to want us. And that shift changes everything. This episode covers the 3 jobs that set you up for exactly that, whether your kids are still home, halfway out, or fully launched. Re-airing this one because your messages told me you needed it.

  • Why Fun Feels Hard for Women and How to Start Feeling Lighter 24.06.2026 24m
    For the woman who feels responsible for everyone and everything: This episode will help so much!!! ⁣ ⁣ Do you ever look at other women relaxing on a porch, laughing with their family, or their posts on social media… and wonder why things feel so much heavier for you?⁣ ⁣ You're not alone! I felt this way too! Everything felt so heavy and serious. Many of us GenX women were raised to be good girls and taught incorrect messages about emotional intelligence - like we were responsible for other people's feelings. ⁣ Which is why we are great at reading the room, can be perfect little people-pleasers, and are really good at carrying the emotional load for everyone else. There's nothing wrong with you, warrior! We were just trained to be useful, responsible, and selfless above all else. If at the end of the day, we've done everything perfectly and have taken care of everyone else's needs and desires, well then, and only then, could we put our feet up.⁣ No wonder life can feel heavy!⁣ ⁣ Well, click play! Because I help you let go of that hypervigilance and over-responsibility so you can learn to relax and truly exhale.⁣ ⁣ You'll leave with two simple steps to start feeling lighter right now - I do them and promise you they work.

  • How to Stop Overfunctioning and Feel Lighter 10.06.2026 29m
    Does anyone else sometimes feel like the only way they feel calm is if they know everything and have a say in all the things? Or that if you don't stay on top of things, those things will fall apart! And if you don't remind, manage, anticipate, and fix… things won't get done? Great news warrior - you are not alone! Even better news? You don't have to feel this way. In this episode, I'm talking about what it really means to be "the one who holds it all together" and why so many of us feel stuck in that role. If you're tired, resentful, feel like no one understands you, and are wondering why no one else seems to step up, this conversation is for you. I'll walk you through why controlling and overfunctioning might feel helpful in the moment but actually creates more stress, disconnection, and anxiety over time. We'll look at how this pattern impacts your relationships with your partner, your kids, and even your aging parents, and why it can quietly chip away at your own mental and physical well-being. Most importantly, I'll show you a different way!! One that works! I took off my "superwoman/I can do it all" cape, and my kids and I not only lived - we're doing waaaay better than we were when I was managing everything.

  • You Are Not Broken: How to Stop Fixing Yourself and Start Accepting Yourself 15.04.2026 16m
    What if the problem was never you? For so many years, I believed that if I could just fix myself enough, improve enough, and be better enough, I would finally feel calm, confident, and at peace. Yet, no matter how much I worked on myself, there was always something else to fix. In this deeply personal episode, I share one of the most life changing truths I've learned in over 20 years of coaching and doing my own emotional healing work. 🩷 This episode is about what happens when you stop treating yourself like a problem to solve and start relating to yourself with acceptance, compassion, and emotional adulthood. Inside this episode, you'll learn: - Why believing you are broken keeps you stuck in shame, self doubt, and emotional exhaustion - The truth about perfection and why there is no finish line where you finally get it right - How to stop being harsh and critical with yourself when you mess up - The difference between emotional childhood and emotional adulthood - How self acceptance actually helps you grow faster, not slower - Why the relationship you have with yourself affects your confidence, parenting, and every other relationship in your life This is not about giving up on growth. It is about growing from love instead of criticism. If you have ever felt like you are too much, not enough, or secretly flawed, this episode will feel like coming home. You are not broken. And the moment you truly understand that is the moment everything can begin to change.   🎧 If you liked this episode, you'll like this one:  The Power of Lovability: Transform Your Relationships and Self-Confidence on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-power-of-lovability-transform-your/id1434429161?i=1000661733596 The Power of Lovability: Transform Your Relationships and Self-Confidence on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/3AjLvAVYKkgoNmw8UMCirI?si=MRpUKR3DSRG2cdHzvgfsIA 📩 Don't miss out: I send weekly wellness tips, episode updates, giveaways and links I love: https://SMBwell.com/newsletter ⭐️Get on Coach Susie's one-on-one schedule here: https://smbwell.com/work-with-me/ 🤓FIRST TIME LISTENER?

  • The Skill That Changes Everything (Emotional Maturity Part 1) 08.04.2026 17m
    Last week, I shared a more personal reflection on why this podcast exists. Today, I want to bring it back to coaching and answer a powerful question: after 400 episodes, what actually helps the most? In this episode, I teach the first of two foundational skills that reduce emotional suffering, reactivity, and relationship drama. This simple but profound shift will help you feel more calm, more empowered, and less at the mercy of other people's behavior. If you've ever felt hijacked by your emotions or stuck in patterns you don't like, this is where the change begins. Next week, I'll share the second skill that completes the picture.
