Ever find yourself snapping at the smallest thing — and then instantly regretting it?

In this solo episode, I unpack the real reason irritability spikes in midlife — especially for women juggling perimenopause, invisible loads, and nervous systems that never get a moment’s rest.

I explore:

• Why you’re not “overreacting” — you’re overcapacity
• The link between chronic over-breathing and emotional reactivity
• What the snap moment is really showing you (it’s not failure, it’s feedback)
• How to gently widen your Window of Tolerance using breathwork, cold exposure, and more
• What it means to feel resourced enough to respond instead of react — and how to build that inner capacity

If you’ve ever said, “I don’t want to be this reactive, but I don’t know how to stop,” this episode is your moment of pause, permission, and possibility.
