From Overwhelmed to Anchored: Emotional Regulation

Talk Description: This series is about learning how to be with our emotions in a way that’s honest, compassionate, and doable in real life. Emotional regulation isn’t about “getting it all right” or shutting down the messy stuff — it’s about noticing what we feel, naming it, and building the tools to come back to center when life gets hard. We’ll move through four phases: becoming more aware of what we feel, learning how to care for our emotions in the moment, working with stress and energy, and finally, integrating what we’ve learned into daily life. Each week, you’ll walk away with a practical tool or framework you can actually use — nothing fancy, just real strategies to help you stay grounded, protect your peace, and grow your resilience. Session Goals & Outcomes: * Name what you feel, when you feel it — so you can stop spinning in “I’m fine” and start responding to what’s really happening. * Notice your body’s early warning signs of stress or overwhelm and learn quick grounding tools you can use at work, at home, or in the middle of a tough conversation. * Build your own emotional toolkit with practices you can lean on when you’re anxious, shut down, or overloaded. * Set boundaries that stick — learning how to say yes and no in ways that protect your energy without guilt. * Recover faster from hard moments by practicing simple, repeatable ways to complete the stress cycle before it turns into burnout. * Befriend the inner critic and practice self-compassion — so you can move through challenges with more courage, clarity, and kindness. 🎤 Speaker Bio: Tiffany Kuang Van Loan — Emotional Resilience and Well-Being Coach Tiffany Kuang Van Loan is an Emotional Resilience and Well-Being Coach who helps individuals build emotional strength in an exhausting and uncertain world.
