Ep. 46 So apparently “being emotionally mature” and “emotionally shutting yourself down” are… not the same thing. Who knew.

In this episode of Oops I’m Evolving, Lexi and I sit down with absolutely no plan and end up talking about emotional containment, fear, and the very specific kind of stuck that happens after you’ve done a ton of healing and now you’re like… cool, what the hell do I do now?

We get into why it’s never about the butter (or the milk, or the blender), how growing up around volatile emotions can turn you into your own internal police officer, and how I’ve realized I might not be “strategic” or “mature”… I might just be aggressively self-editing so I never have to be vulnerable.

We also talk about:
– holding emotions without exploding or disappearing
– the fear of becoming the unsafe person you watched growing up
– why I’ve gone quiet on social media (spoiler: I did not suddenly run out of thoughts)
– newborn calf energy, shaky legs, and not trusting yourself yet
– gripping the steering wheel of life because you cannot handle one more thing
– agency, rest, self-sacrifice, and giving your power away in sneaky little ways

This episode is honest, a little chaotic, mildly existential, and very much two people thinking out loud in real time. If you’ve been stuck, quiet, overthinking everything, or wondering whether you’re healing or just avoiding—same.
