Episode Synopsis

You’ve probably heard the phrase “spilling the tea” when it comes to gossip. But here’s the thing: we all have our own kind of “tea” — the stories we tell ourselves in our heads. And most of the time, those stories are stressful, judgmental, and downright exhausting.In this episode of The Autism Mom Coach, is a light-hearted take on what it means to clock the tea you are serving yourself and why it is the key to interrupting the stories that are keeping you in a chronic state of stress and self doubt.What I cover in this episode:Why your brain creates these “tea” stories in the first place.The difference between thoughts that feel true and actual facts.How believing your own negative commentary keeps you stuck in guilt, shame, and self-doubt.Real stories from me and my clients of learning to pause and “clock it.”A quick process you can use to catch yourself in the moment.Here’s the truth: your brain will keep serving tea. But when you learn to clock it, you stop letting those stories run your life. You create a little bit of space between the thought and your reaction — and that’s where your power lives.Want to go deeper?If you’re tired of your thoughts running the show during meltdowns, grab my free guide: The Autism Mom’s Meltdown Plan.And if you want help putting this into practice, you can schedule a consult with me here: https://talkwiththeautismmomcoach.as.me/.
