Have you ever felt overwhelmed on the inside, yet calm and fine on the outside?

In this episode of Building Better Relationships at Home and Work, we explore the intimacy disconnect that happens when emotional overload leads us to shut down or guard ourselves. While it may look like distance, this response is often a form of self-protection.

Together, we discuss how overwhelm impacts connection at home and at work, what’s really happening beneath the surface, and how to stay gently connected without pushing past your limits.
