#65 I Don't Relax Until the Boxes are Checked
The Kolette Hall Podcast
Most of us have an unspoken rule: I’ll feel calm when everything is under control. In this episode, I break down why that doesn’t actually work—and how it keeps us stuck in a cycle of constantly waiting to relax. We talk about the difference between using systems for support versus relying on them for peace, and what it looks like to create calm from the inside instead. Loved this conversation?

#62 It Feels Like Life is Doing This To Me
The Kolette Hall Podcast
Why do some moments hit us so much harder than we expect? In this episode, I talk about something I hear from clients all the time: that moment when you realize something is affecting you more than you’d like. We explore the difference between circumstances and the thoughts our minds “catch hold of,” and why that distinction changes how much power we actually have in our emotional lives.

#61 When I Think I Know What's Best
The Kolette Hall Podcast
This episode came out of noticing my own internal fight for control in a moment that didn’t actually require it. I talk about the subtle ways we try to manage other people’s thoughts/feelings and a concept I teach called the seesaw of control. It’s a reminder that while we can’t control anyone else’s experience, we do have full responsibility for our own. That balance is where things start to feel better. Loved this conversation?

#59 When Not Helping Your Adult Child Feels Hard
The Kolette Hall Podcast
There’s a moment with adult children when they’re talking through something expensive or complicated, and you feel a pull to step in and help. It’s the reflex that comes from years of being the one who solved problems and helped them through hard challenges. In this conversation, I talk about choosing not to intervene, what that brings up internally, and how letting an adult child handle their own situation can be part of stepping back in a way that’s actually supportive.

#57 Unlocking All the Skills
The Kolette Hall Podcast
In this episode, I reflect on a parenting moment that surprised me and shifted how I think about skills, responsibility, and independence. We talk about the belief that someday you just “unlock” the skills you need and why there’s more truth in that than we might think. This conversation isn’t just about parenting; it’s about confidence in learning and remembering that none of us need to know everything in advance to be capable. Loved this conversation?
