OCTD

I'm moving. I am stressed. I can't think of a better summary to write than that, and the move hasn't even started yet!

This week's pod is all about workplace boundaries (insert barf emoji here 🤢). Riveting, I know. Turns out I'm still very much a work in progress when it comes to creating—and more importantly, enforcing—boundaries at work. We chat about how I accidentally trained people to expect unlimited access to my time, why saying "yes" to everything eventually came back to bite me, and wha...

This weeks podcast comes from a place of vulnerability so, please give ya girl some grace. I am dissecting why unsolicited advice pisses me off sometimes , and how people have provided unsolicited advice that I actually listened to and appreciated. A good reminder that I am not a perfect person, and sometimes I fill in the blanks when I assume people are saying one thing, when in reality they migh...

She's baaaaaack! Did you miss me? This week obvi I give y'all an update on life, because ya girl has been living a lot of it. Then we get into the meat and potatoes of the pod. Have you ever been in a situation where someone you love is experience life HARD and there is literally nothing you can do to fix it? I have, and it sucks hard. That is what I explore this week, why it is so difficu...

She's back, and she is rashy! Okay, gross, not literally. But she is feeling some type of way after learning that she doesn't have a ton of tolerance for undefine tasks. This week I give y'all some examples of how my brain shorts out when I am given a task without clear instructions and you get to hear me, in real time, process how that makes me feel. It is very much still a thing I am...

This week we have a guest! By the title, you've probably already guessed, it's my Mom! Obviously I needed to capitalize on the fact that I spent most of Sunday with Brenda so I bamboozled her into recording a pod with me. (Not really she was a willing participant) This one we mostly just ask each other questions, rant about hormones, and talk about how I tell all my friends they should tal...

Y'all...today was a DAY! So obviously I had to make a podcast episode about it. Something ticked me off from the moment I logged in for work and I had to do a TON of emotional regulation to not let it affect the rest of my day. Spoiler alert: it went meh. But I tried some tactics that I think at the bare minimum helped me not be as annoyed as I could have been. Buckle up for a lot of F bombs,...

This week’s episode started with a literal system meltdown at work and somehow turned into a very personal audit of how I handle communication when things get overloaded. I talk about what it looks like when two people are not operating at the same capacity and why both sides are valid but not always compatible in the moment. Sometimes I am the one maxed out and shutting down, and sometimes I am r...

I used to think I was just “getting lucky”… turns out I’ve been manifesting my whole life. From calling my shot at 8 years old (hi, Maine), to dreaming up a future as a pastry chef at 12, to leveling up my career in my 20s; I’ve always known what I wanted. But here’s the part no one talks about: I didn’t just manifest it… I moved for it. In this episode, I’m getting real about manifestation; what...

Heyo! This week I am discussing what decision fatigue is, how it affects me, AND why being great at executive function sometimes causes more decision fatigue. Very much like myself, this episode is short, sweet, and to the point. Obvi at the end I provide strategies for managing decision fatigue so make sure you are listening out for that.

Warning: I texted Jessica to make sure she listens to this episode so she is ready for our session on Friday. This week I get suuuuuper self reflective, and ponder my inability to think I am wrong. I am really hoping someone messages me and tells me their brain works the same as mine, because honestly....I am worried about me. But, as always I am committed to growing as a person and will obviously...

Heyooooo! She is a little slap happy today thanks to zero sleep, but honestly that just makes this episode better. This week I’m diving into my Enneagram type and the types I keep collecting, because apparently I need balance whether I ask for it or not. We’ve got 2s softening me, a 1 teaching me tact, and a 6 keeping me grounded while I try not to bulldoze every conversation with honesty. Strap i...

This week I explore what happens in my brain when I start to feel a little bit of imposter syndrome. Then I talk about how my lord and savior Ilona Maher looks at imposter syndrome and I tighten my shit up! Its a short one this week, but as always very rooted in what is currently going on in my life. Enjoy!

This week, Tylr dives into the absolutely unhinged complexity of being a human being. (Big sentence. Deep breath.) What she actually means is: why are we all so quick to flatten people into heroes or villains based on a 12-second clip and a spicy caption? From social media hot takes to her own uncomfortable realizations, Tylr unpacks how easy it is to reduce people to their worst moment — and why...

In the spirit of being bejeweled, this episode is about refusing to shrink for someone else’s comfort. I share a moment of realizing I wasn’t fully myself in a past relationship — not as drama, but as data. From there, we unpack what it looks like to grow without self-erasing, to find friendships where you’re completely seen, and to choose connections that can hold all of you. I’m done dimming, as...

No one wakes up thinking they’re the villain — but statistically? You’re absolutely the bad guy in someone else’s story. And honestly? I’m fine with that. This isn’t about being cruel or careless. It’s about choosing to be the hero in your own life instead of setting yourself on fire to keep everyone else warm. I've never been one to twist myself into something more “palatable” just to avoid d...

Have you ever made a decision out of fear? Maybe you've made a choice solely on what could go wrong instead of thinking about everything that could go right? If you answered yes to those questions, you are not alone! I do that too, and I know a lot of other folks do as well. This week I talk about what goes through my brain when I am living in Scarcity Mindset City, when in reality I want to l...

This week I have another very special guest! My dad! Mr. Coffelt is on the pod this week and we talk all about how it feels to have a daughter who is just like him, what he thought when I started therapy, and then his own journey with therapy and so much more! This week's episode is a little more vulnerable than most so I hope you enjoy!

Come along a maddening and let's be honest not so surprising journey with me this week. I started recording on Sunday, my third day of isolation due to Winter Storm Fern (what a bitch) and I finish recording on Tuesday (day 5). You will hear how I kept myself busy over the weekend and then slowly but surely start to lose my mind as the week progresses and the ice does not melt. Someone check o...

Ever created a timeline in your head and then beat yourself up for not achieving that timeline? Yes? Me too! This weeks episode explores not meeting the timeline you created for yourself in your head, and how to deal with that. As a girly pop who is CONSTANTLY thinking about the future, this hits hard for me. But I know I will be okay, I have no other choice. Planner I love: https://www.personalpl...

This week I have a very special guest! My mother! Brenda graced the closet with her presence and discussed everything from being a mom to a child who demands perfection to all the journals this woman writes. We had a great time talking and cackling while she called me out for the ways she had to teach me to be tactful as a child. If you don't love this conversation you are wrong. That's al...

This is the second pod I recorded that day. Why? Because The first one I decided I hated, and was in a crappy mood so I scrapped it. I hope this episode shows you how I handle my own emotions when I am feeling like a Grumpy Goober for absolutely no reason at all and maybe gives you some ideas on how to handle your emotions when you are a Cranky Pants Mcgee.

Did I intend to post this episode on December 31st? Yes. Did it actually happen? No. I got distracted. But now this is the first episode of OCTD for 2026! Listen to me recap all the cool things I did last year (weird to type that one out) while also trying to recognize that the year was still a difficult one for me. Two things can be true at one time. Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays! This episode is extra special to me because my little brother Tim is here to talk with me! We talk all about how I acquired him as a brother, how I bullied him into going to the same college with me AND how my flavor of neuro-spicy is different than his flavor of neuro-spicy. I love this mans so much and I hope y'all love him too (but if you don't you are absolutely wrong)....

This weeks episode is....chaotic to say the least. I dive into the topic of love languages, all spurred on by the loss of a family member and trying to find letters written by them to me. We are talking through love languages, reading letters that I've been sent over the years (can you guess my love language?) and discovering why certain phrases chap my shins based on how I show other people l...
