Notes

Why I Blew Up at Dinner (and Why You Might Be Doing It Too)

By nine years old, Jennifer was cooking dinner for her family of five on the farm, calling her granny for help, and blowing up at the dinner table night after night. Decades later, in perimenopause, the same pattern came roaring back with her husband, and she didn't even see it. In this episode, she shares the story, explains why an old pattern gets louder in perimenopause, and teaches a five-minute reset you can try before dinner tonight.

What you'll hear:

• The farm kitchen story and the tomato that said "not enough"
• Your nervous system's set point, and the old alarm wired into it
• Why perimenopause turns up the volume on old patterns
• What hormones can and can't do for the rage
• The 5 o'clock reset: notice, name, breathe, move, and speak to who you're becoming

What if your anxiety has never once tried to hurt you?

For nearly 30 years, licensed psychotherapist Jennifer Moore has watched clients declare war on their anxiety. Fight it, try to numb it, or drink it away, and the next day it comes back 10x louder. Because you can't evict a bodyguard.

In this episode, Jennifer breaks down what anxiety actually is, why it lives in your body before it ever becomes a thought, and how to finally stop fighting it. Through the lens of Internal Family Systems and Polyvagal theory, you'll learn to see your anxiety for what it really is: a young, tired, devoted protector that never got the memo you survived.

Plus: five body-based tools you can use today, how to tell the difference between anxiety and intuition, and a guided befriending meditation you'll want to return to again and again.

Your body isn't betraying you. It's trying to protect you.

IN THIS EPISODE

• Why 99.9% of us fight our anxiety, and why it always comes back louder
• The good news first: your brain is neuroplastic and your nervous system is trainable
• Fear vs. anxiety: one is about now, the other is about what might happen next
• The vagus nerve, the "wanderer," and why 80% of its fibers carry information UP from body to brain
• Why anxiety shows up as a dropped stomach, racing heart, nausea, or hives before you have a single anxious thought
• Jen's high school hives story and what her body was really doing
• Polyvagal theory 101: Dr. Stephen Porges and your nervous system's protective states
• The Inside Out 2 image: Anxiety gripping the control panel with both hands
• The IFS reframe: anxiety as a loyal protector part still guarding the 7-year-old you
• Meet "Anxious Annie": why naming your anxious part changes your relationship with it
• You don't fire a loyal employee. You thank her and update her job description.
• Anxiety vs. intuition: quiet or loud, specific or global, settles or loops, present or future
• Five tools that speak the body's language: the physiological sigh, humming, orienting, cold water, and the befriending practice
• A guided IFS-style befriending meditation (save this one)

KEY QUOTES

"You can't evict a bodyguard."

"Your body isn't betraying you. It's trying to protect you."

"Your nervous system would rather give you a thousand false alarms than miss one real threat. That's a loyal protector."

"It doesn't know you grew up. It's still protecting the 7-year-old you."

"You don't heal by fighting yourself. You heal by befriending yourself."

THE 5 TOOLS FROM THIS EPISODE

1. The physiological sigh. Two short inhales through the nose, one long slow exhale through the mouth. Three rounds.
2. Hum. The vagus nerve runs right past your vocal cords. Hum, chant, or sing. Low and slow.
3. Orienting. Slowly turn your head and name five things you can see. Tell your nervous system: we checked, no tiger.
4. Cold water. Cool water on your face or wrists activates the dive reflex. Heart rate drops.
5. The befriending practice. Turn toward your anxiety like a frightened child. I see you. Thank you. I've got it from here. (Guided meditation in the episode.)
