In this episode, Ashley sits down with coach Jeanne Panucci, Inner Work Coach for a real coaching conversation about overwhelm, comparison, and learning how to find calm in the middle of life's chaos.

Together, they explore how overwhelm shows up in the body, why so many moms stay stuck on autopilot, and how even a brief pause can help create more calm, clarity, and self-compassion. Through this honest conversation, Ashley experiences these practices firsthand and reflects on how they connect to the journey of changing your relationship with alcohol.

If you've ever felt like your mind won't slow down or life feels too overwhelming to catch your breath, this episode is for you.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why overwhelm often shows up in the body before you recognize it mentally.

• How autopilot and avoidance can keep you stuck in unhealthy patterns.

• Why comparison quietly fuels stress and self-judgment.

• How taking a simple pause can help you reconnect with yourself.

• What it means to expand your capacity instead of pushing through.
