Show Notes

Ever find yourself saying things you regret in the heat of the moment? Or spiraling after a client complaint, a bad email, or your kid melting down in public?

In this episode, clinical psychologist Dr. Sherry Walling breaks down how high performers lose control of big emotions—and how to get it back.

Inside this episode:
– What’s actually happening in your body when you get triggered
– How to catch your reaction early—before your nervous system hijacks your behavior
– Simple ways to calm your body fast (breathwork, water, scent, music)
– What past experiences may be quietly running the show when you feel attacked or out of control

Whether you’re a founder, a parent, or both—this is the toolkit for staying regulated when life gets hard.
