Cultivate self-trust:
The overwhelm edition

A free 60-minute live somatic class for women feeling stuck in overwhelm, anxiety, or indecision — sensing something needs to change and yearning to feel grounded and trusting in what’s right for them.

Thursday 30 October · 7-8pm AEDT · Live on Zoom

Caroline Birch | Somatic Coach and Guide

🌊 You say yes to extra work because someone else is overloaded, even when you’re drowning yourself.
🤍 You stay quiet to keep the peace, even if it means swallowing what you really feel.
🧭 You plan weekends or holidays around what everyone else wants.
🕯️ You feel guilty or selfish at the idea of saying no.
🌿 Your own needs end up last. You’re left depleted, anxious, and unsure what you actually want.

This pattern might feel normal because it’s so common, but it’s anything but how our bodies were designed to feel. And it’s one of the hidden reasons so many women feel overwhelmed and unsure how to make decisions that truly serve them.

Does this feel familiar?

When you’ve spent years (or even decades) putting other people’s needs first, your body learns that it’s safer to maintain that habit than to know and honour your own needs.

It’s not a conscious choice, it’s an automatic nervous system pattern.

The good news? This pattern can shift — when we stop applying band-aids (another breathwork class, another detox or cleanse) and start meeting it at its root: in the nervous system itself.

WHY OVERWHELM REALLY HAPPENS

WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE DAY TO DAY

If you’ve spent years putting others needs before your own, it might look like this:

🌊 Constant overwhelm
🌱 “Unexplained” anxiety
🧭 Confusion about what you need
🪞 Paralysis around big decisions
🕯️ Consistent fatigue or depletion

WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE IN THIS FREE LIVE CLASS

You’ll be guided through a gentle somatic process to help you:

🌿 Understand why overwhelm shows up when you’re always putting others first.
💗 Begin to feel what your body needs — even if those needs have been pushed aside or unheard for a long time.
🪷 Practise one simple somatic tool to feel more anchored and clear when decisions or requests come your way.
✨ Learn how to take the first small steps toward honouring your needs without guilt or fear of disappointing or upsetting others.

This is not about adding another “daily practice” to your to-do list. It’s about building the capacity to hear and trust yourself, even when outside voices are loud.

MEET YOUR GUIDE

Hi, I’m Caroline Birch — I support women to break free from the habit of putting everyone else first so they can live with more clarity, self-trust and vitality.

I specialise in supporting women who’ve spent years afraid of upsetting people, rocking the boat, or letting others down — women who feel the cost of keeping everyone happy in the form of anxiety, burnout, and a quiet sense they’re meant to be experiencing something different but don’t know how to choose it.

My coaching blends nature-led somatics, nervous system regeneration and deeply nuanced relational support.
