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.
