Walking on Eggshells – Part 2: How to Stay Steady Through the Tension

Walking on eggshells doesn’t just happen in the moment...it lingers in the aftermath. The tension in the room feels heavy, you shrink, you go quiet, and you start spiraling in your head even when you know it’s not yours to carry.

In this episode, I share practical ways to stand with yourself through the tension instead of abandoning yourself in it. We’ll talk about:

• How to notice when you’re shrinking or tiptoeing in the aftermath.

• Why overthinking keeps you stuck in the tension (even when you tell yourself it’s not yours).

• Three ways to steady yourself: putting it out there, giving space, or distracting yourself to break the spiral.

• How to accept “we’re good” without pushing for more resolution.

This episode is about learning to stay grounded, keep your voice, and not let someone else’s storm pull you into tiptoeing.
