We're pulling back the curtain. This is our real planning convo on how we align language, debate “steady vs. stoic,” and map the tools before we get into a weekly podcast episode. It’s messy, honest, and meant to bring you right in the room with us.

This isn’t a polished episode; it’s the actual conversation we had to plan Tuesday’s show. We hash out what “steadiness” really means (not robotic, not shut down), talk nervous system regulation and “anchored presence,” and decide how to communicate it so both partners feel seen. You’ll hear how we align language, challenge each other’s angles, and turn lived moments into something you can try at home.
If you love the raw, unfiltered build-up before the mic goes live, tell us...should we do more Behind the Scenes?
