Paperclips & Periods Podcast: I'm Not Mean, I'm Overstimulated: The Hidden Mental Load Women Carry

In this episode, Dr. Emily K. Cabrera, EdD, MSN, CAGS, PMHNP-BC and Katie Krych, MSN, RN, PMHNP(c) dive into a topic that resonates with women everywhere: feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, and misunderstood. Through candid conversation, personal stories, and plenty of laughter, Emily and Katie explore the invisible mental load that many women carry every day. From managing households, raising children, navigating careers, supporting relationships, and juggling endless to-do lists, they discuss how overstimulation can often be mistaken for irritability, impatience, or being "mean." The discussion examines the cultural expectations placed on women to remain patient, available, and emotionally regulated at all times, while also highlighting the importance of boundaries, self-awareness, and self-compassion. Emily and Katie share their own experiences with stress, ADHD, motherhood, perimenopause, caregiving, and the challenges of asking for help when life feels overwhelming. Most importantly, they remind listeners that needing a break does not make you selfish, setting boundaries does not make you difficult, and asking for space does not make you unkind. Sometimes what looks like frustration on the outside is simply a nervous system asking for rest. As always, this conversation is not about perfection. It is about creating space for honest discussions, offering practical tools, and helping listeners feel seen, understood, and supported in the realities of everyday life.

The conversation expanded when a caller joined the program with questions about home schooling, leading to a practical and honest discussion about common misconceptions, challenges families may encounter, and strategies for determining whether home schooling is the right fit for their children.

Mid-life transitions were discussed as a natural developmental stage where people often reevaluate purpose, fulfillment, and personal direction.

Paperclips & Periods Podcast 6.10.2026: Financial Stress and Shame

In this episode, Dr. Emily K. Cabrera, EdD, MSN, CAGS, PMHNP-BC and Katie Krych, MSN, RN, PMHNP(c) explore what it means to carry shame around money and why that silence can quietly shape so much of a woman's life, her choices, her relationships, and her sense of self. Money is one of the last things women feel permission to talk about honestly. Not because the feelings are not there, but because shame has a way of making people go quiet. This episode names that silence directly and asks what it would look like to start telling the truth about money, not to fix everything at once, but to stop carrying it alone. The conversation opens with where money shame comes from in the first place. Long before we were adults making financial decisions, we were children absorbing money scripts, the unspoken rules and beliefs passed down through family, culture, and circumstance. Messages like "we don't talk about money," "there's never enough," or "wanting more is selfish" do not disappear when we grow up. They run quietly in the background and shape behavior in ways that can be hard to trace. From there, they move into the real cost of that shame. Financial stress is not separate from mental health. It activates the same stress response in the body as any other ongoing threat, and when shame is layered on top of it, it becomes even harder to look at clearly or ask for help. They also discuss what shame resilience actually looks like in practice, including how to do a financial audit without judgment, what values-based budgeting means when it is used as a clarity tool rather than a restriction, and why saying a financial truth out loud to one safe person can be a more meaningful starting point than any spreadsheet. The episode closes with an introduction to financial therapy as a legitimate and growing field that sits at the intersection of mental health and financial planning, along with practical guidance on how to find a financial therapist and what to expect. It ends with three reflection questions for listeners to sit with: What money story did you inherit? Where does shame show up for you? And what financial truth has been waiting for some air?

Wellness Wave Radio 5.24.2026

On May 24, 2026, Dr. Emily K. Cabrera, EdD, MSN, CAGS, PMHNP-BC, joined Wellness Wave Radio LLC, hosted by biochemist Phil George on Dreamvisions 7 Radio, for an in-depth discussion on photobiomodulation and its emerging role in supporting brain health, cognitive function, and mental wellness. During the episode, they explored how specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light may help support cellular energy production, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote the brain's natural healing processes. The conversation highlighted the growing body of research examining photobiomodulation as a complementary tool for individuals experiencing cognitive decline, traumatic brain injuries, mood disorders, chronic stress, and other neurological challenges. Dr. Cabrera and Phil discussed the science behind photobiomodulation, including its effects on mitochondria, the energy-producing structures within cells, and how improved cellular function may contribute to enhanced mental clarity, focus, memory, and emotional resilience. They also explored the relationship between brain inflammation and psychiatric symptoms, emphasizing the importance of addressing underlying biological factors that can influence mental health. Additional topics included the integration of photobiomodulation within a comprehensive wellness plan, the role of nutrition and lifestyle interventions in supporting brain recovery, and the potential benefits of combining innovative therapies with traditional mental health care. The episode offered listeners a practical and evidence-informed overview of how emerging technologies may help optimize brain function and support long-term cognitive and emotional well-being.

Paperclips & Periods Podcast 6.5.2026: Dressed for Who, Exactly?

In this episode, Dr. Emily K. Cabrera, EdD, MSN, CAGS, PMHNP-BC and Katie Krych, MSN, RN, PMHNP(c) explore what it means to open your closet and come face to face with every version of yourself you have ever been. Clothing is rarely just about clothing. The things hanging in our closets carry stories, old identities, bodies we used to live in, and quiet pressures we may not even realize we are still carrying. This episode starts there and does not shy away from how personal it gets. The conversation moves through the different stages a wardrobe accumulates over a lifetime, from the clothes we wore when we were trying to be seen, to the professional armor we wore because a role required it, to the oversized cardigan in every color we now reach for because it is comfortable and nobody can argue with comfortable. Both hosts get honest about the gap between the woman in the mirror and the woman whose clothes are still hanging there from a decade ago, and what it actually means to hold onto them. From there, they talk about body image in a way that is real and unscripted. Post-pregnancy bodies, menopause changes, breast reductions, scars, the pouch, the wider hips, the pancake situation, the chin hair. None of it is off limits, and none of it is wrapped in toxic positivity either. What comes through instead is something quieter and more honest: two women giving themselves, and each other, some grace. They also dig into the question underneath all of it: who are we actually doing this for? When we get dressed in the morning, put on the makeup, shave, style the hair, are we doing it for ourselves or for an audience we invented? The answer, it turns out, shifts a lot as we get older. The episode closes with a reminder that comfort in your own skin is not a destination you arrive at. It is a decision you make, again and again, in a closet full of who you used to be.

Paperclips & Periods Podcast 5.29.2026: When Rest Doesn’t Feel Restful

In this episode, Dr. Emily K. Cabrera, EdD, MSN, CAGS, PMHNP-BC and Katie Krych, MSN, RN, PMHNP(c) explore why it can feel so difficult for women to truly rest, even when there is time to do so. While rest is often framed as a simple choice, many women find that the moment they sit down, their minds become more active, running through responsibilities, to-do lists, and unfinished tasks. They discuss how this is not just about being “busy,” but about the constant mental load many women carry. Expectations at home, caregiving roles, work demands, and the pressure to stay productive all contribute to a brain that stays on, even when the body stops. Over time, the nervous system can become used to this constant state of alertness, making stillness feel uncomfortable, unfamiliar, or even guilt-inducing. The belief that rest must be earned can further reinforce this pattern, making it harder to slow down without feeling like something is being neglected. This episode offers a grounded and compassionate perspective, helping listeners understand that difficulty with rest is not a personal failure, but a learned pattern shaped by both environment and biology. It encourages small, realistic shifts, reminding listeners that rest does not have to be perfect to be meaningful. Even brief moments of pause, despite a busy mind, still count. It closes with a simple reflection, inviting listeners to notice one small moment in their day where they allowed themselves to pause, and to begin seeing that as a valid and necessary form of rest.
