In this episode of Wholehearted Loving, Georgianna and Steph explore one of the most transformative (and surprisingly simple) tools in relational healing: saying things out loud.

They share personal stories of how naming the truth — even clumsily, even late — creates clarity, soothes conflict, and deepens connection. From stories of oversharing to boundary-finding and parenting with presence, they walk through how narrating your inner world can change how you relate to everything around you (and how everything around you relates back).

Discover how:

Naming your feelings helps you feel less alone
Narrating your day helps you build better boundaries
To express your truth without blaming or performing

In this honest and laughter-filled episode, Georgianna and Steph explore how we get conditioned into busy, pressured ways of being — and how hard it can be to even notice that something feels bad when it’s all we’ve ever known.

Georgianna shares the story of how Chinese school on Sundays when she was a kid left her feeling like there was always something else to do — a feeling she later replicated in adulthood through jam-packed days, over-functioning, and last-minute scrambling. Steph offers her own version: how she misinterpreted ease as laziness until realizing her minimalist approach had real wisdom.

Together, they unpack why contrast is essential for rewiring your body’s expectations — and how simple body-based tools can quietly shift what you believe is possible. If you’ve ever wondered why slowing down feels wrong, or why you can't seem to bring more peace to your daily flow, this conversation will hit home.

- Learn how pressure becomes your body’s default — and how to shift it
- Discover how to find a new, better-feeling baseline through contrast and simple practice
- Replace shame-based motivation with compassionate incentives that move you to act from internal motivation instead of outside pressure.

In this episode, Georgianna and Steph unpack the subtle but costly ways we say yes when we shouldn’t — and how it erodes our capacity, clarity, and connection. From Georgianna’s moment of losing it on her family over a small request, to Steph’s story of the “final yes” that sent her spiraling, they get honest about the slippery slope of over-giving.

They share what it takes to reclaim your inner “no,” how to recognize resentment as a signal of self-abandonment, and why staying honest about your true limits is an act of love — not just for others, but for yourself. This episode is full of personal stories, gentle humor, and deeply practical tools to help you build boundaries that feel both kind and clear.

✨ Learn how to notice when your yesses come at your own expense

✨ Practice saying no without guilt or explanation

✨ Build a relationship of trust where your yes actually means yes
