Ever feel like you’ve been pushing through for too long—holding it all together while your body keeps sending you signals you can’t ignore? You’re not alone.In this episode of What’s My Body Telling Me?, Dr Anthea Todd sits down with therapist and social worker Tiffani Clingin, who brings both decades of clinical experience and profound lived wisdom after navigating devastating personal loss and betrayal.Together, Anthea and Tiffani explore what happens when “just staying strong” isn’t working—and why compassion, not willpower, is the way through. Tiffani shares the practices that helped her get out of bed after her son’s death, the “oscillation” method that allows space for both grief and relief, and the tiny rituals (like her “just put your shoes on” rule) that can carry us through the hardest days.From the pressure to hold it all together, to the healing power of self-compassion, this conversation offers both validation and practical tools. You’ll also hear how to support others in crisis without overstepping, how to separate fact from story when your mind spirals, and why falling apart doesn’t mean you’re failing—it can mean you’re healing.If you’ve ever felt like you can’t keep pushing but don’t know what else to do, this episode is a gentle reminder: you’re not broken, and you don’t have to do it alone.To learn more about what is your body telling you, visit: https://www.femalefundamentals.com.au/Get the Best Selling Book - “What’s My Body Telling Me?” here: https://femalefundamentals.shop/products/whats-my-body-telling-me-paperback-bookDiscover the WHY behind your symptoms with Test Your Fundamentals™ Hair Tissue Test: https://www.femalefundamentals.com.au/test-your-female-fundamentalsConnect with Tiffani Clingin: https://liberty-health.com.au/about-liberty-health/Follow Dr Anthea Todd: dr.antheatodd
