Why do I react like that? Understanding emotional triggers without judging yourself

Have you ever reacted to something and wondered “why do I react like that?” In this episode of Untangled we explore why our emotions can sometimes feel bigger than the situation in front of us. We will unpack emotional triggers, the role of the nervous system and why our reactions often make more sense than we think. If you’ve ever called yourself “too emotional” or struggled to understand why certain situations hit so hard, this episode is for you. Healing doesn’t begin with judging yourself, it begins with understanding yourself.

They’ve relapsed….now everything feels shaky

Relapse doesn’t just affect the person struggling with addiction, it impacts everyone who loves them. In this episode of Untangled we explore the emotional aftermath of relapse, what it does to trust and why everything can suddenly feel uncertain again. We talk honestly about the fear, disappointment and self doubt that many partners experience and why rebuilding trust takes more than promises. A compassionate talk for anyone trying to make sense of what comes after relapse. Healing isn’t about pretending it didn’t happen, it’s about finding a way forward.

The Pain You Can’t See - Living with Endometriosis

In this deeply personal episode I am joined by my 22 year old daughter as she shares her journey living with endometriosis and adenomyosis. After years of pain, two surgeries and now medically induced reversible menopause, she speaks openly about the physical and emotional impact of living with an invisible illness. We also explore the experiences from a mother’s perspective, the worry, helplessness and heartache of watching your child suffer when you can’t take the pain away. This is an honest conversation about being believed, navigating the healthcare system, chronic pain, resilience and the importance of never suffering in silence. Whether you’re living with endometriosis, supporting someone who is or simply want to better understand these conditions, this episode is for you.

They”re Not Changing………Now What?

What do you do when you’re ready to grow but your partner isn’t? In this episode of Untangled we explore the emotional weight of loving someone who isn’t changing. From holding onto hope to questioning yourself. We talk honestly about what it feels like to carry the relationship, the difference between patience and staying stuck and the difficult questions we sometimes have to ask ourselves. A real conversation for anyone who’s ever felt lonely in a relationship or wondered if they’re asking for too much.

Is it love or am I losing myself?

Have you ever looked at your relationship and wondered how you slowly became someone you barely recognise? In this first episode of Untangled, we explore what happens when caring for someone else starts to mean losing yourself. We talk about the subtle signs, why it happens to some of the most caring people and how to begin finding your way back to you. A real, honest conversation about relationships self worth and remembering that love should never cost you yourself.
