In this solo episode of The Tessa Tubbs Podcast, Tessa shares practical, real-life strategies for leading yourself through discomfort without numbing out, spiraling, or escaping into overwork, overeating, shopping, scrolling, or people-pleasing.
You’ll learn how to tell the difference between:
- Moments where you need to stay present and work the plan, and
- Moments where you genuinely need to soothe your system and regroup
Tessa walks through her personal “go-to” tools, including:
- Changing your scenery to reset your nervous system
- Warmth and touch cues (a warm mug, a soft blanket) to calm the body and stay grounded
- Journaling to get thoughts out of your head and back into reality (and rewrite the narrative)
- Talking it out with a trusted person, and how AI can support reflection in the moment
- Prayer as an anchor for those who are people of faith
If you’ve been trying to “push through” discomfort by outrunning it, this episode will help you build self-leadership that’s honest, grounded, and sustainable.
🎧 Listen now and practice staying present, telling the truth, and choosing what you need on purpose.
