  • Embracing the Overwhelm: Finding Balance in Life's Roles

    Embracing the Overwhelm: Finding Balance in Life's Roles
    Nov 19 2025
    In this heartfelt episode of The Calm Codes Podcast, Pip explores what it truly means to feel overwhelmed in our fast-paced, role-filled lives. As a mother, wife, stepmom, daughter, and sister, she shares how the weight of responsibility can quietly build — not because we lack love for our people, but because we’re human. Through a deeply reflective moment, Pip describes a vision of a woman curled up, not in distress, but simply craving a moment of solitude. This episode is a gentle reminder that we all need time alone to recharge our spirits, reset our nervous system, and reconnect with ourselves. Pip shares how to find small, sacred pockets of peace in everyday life — from a quiet corner with a book to a few breaths of stillness — and how films like The Shift illustrate the reality that sometimes all we need is space. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), Pip explores how acknowledging our inner parts — the overwhelmed one, the achiever, the caretaker, the tired one — helps us understand our reactions and soothe the parts that need compassion. This episode is for anyone who feels stretched thin, pulled in many directions, or silently craving a moment to breathe. It’s a reminder that the dishes can wait. Your inner world cannot. Take a breath. Tune in. And let this episode help you return home — to calm. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • The Ego's Desire for Drama

    The Ego's Desire for Drama
    Nov 14 2025
    In this conversation, Pip discusses the dichotomy between chaos and calm, emphasizing the importance of choosing peace over drama. She highlights how our ego often craves chaos, while our higher self seeks tranquility. Additionally, Pip underscores the significance of affirmations and the impact of our self-identification on our emotional state. Takeaways When we choose chaos, it's feeding our ego. Our ego wants chaos, wants drama, wants all that negative stuff. Our spiritual soul wants calm, peace, love, all those higher emotions. Choosing calm is a conscious decision. What you say after 'I am' is very important. Affirmations shape our reality and self-perception. Higher emotions lead to a more fulfilling life. Mindfulness helps in recognizing our choices. We can shift from chaos to calm with intention. Personal growth involves understanding our inner dialogue. Connect with Pippa here. Much love and gratitude. Pippa x Learn more about your ad choices.
