The Honest Work | For Honest Women Ready To Calm Their Nervous System + Stop Living In Fear
The Honest Work is a podcast for women who want to stop being run by their triggers and start seeing their lives more clearly.
Hosted by Lisa Covert, this show is about looking honestly at everyday situations — the ones that spark anxiety, defensiveness, resentment, shame, or shutdown — and exploring how a shift in perception can change everything.
Around here, we talk about:
🗸 why certain things hit so hard
🗸 how old thoughts and patterns shape our reactions
🗸 what it looks like to respond instead of react
🗸 parenting, relationships, faith, and life without living on edge
🗸 and how truth calms the nervous system in ways forcing, fixing, or numbing never could
Lisa shares real-life moments — how she used to handle them, what they used to trigger, and how learning to look deeper removed the “button” altogether.
This isn’t about becoming fearless or perfect.
It’s about understanding yourself well enough that fear stops running the show.
🎧 New episodes every Tuesday and Friday.
If you’re ready to see things differently — and feel the freedom that comes with it — welcome to The Honest Work.

Episode 59 — Feeling Behind All the Time? Why Your Nervous System Is Begging You to Slow Down
If you’ve been living in that constant hum of overwhelm, this one’s for you.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing the quiet moment that cracked something open for me — not a crisis, not a meltdown… just a simple pause in a Target parking lot that helped me finally hear what my body had been whispering for months.
This is where the Peaceful Mom Project really begins.
Inside this episode, you’ll hear:
✨ why “feeling behind” is actually a nervous system signal
✨ how mothers override themselves without even noticing
✨ the tiny moment that shifted everything for me
✨ why slowing down isn’t lazy — it’s regulation
✨ what peace actually feels like (and why it isn’t earned)
If you’re tired of being the woman who holds everything but herself, you’re in the right place.
This space is your reminder that you don’t have to fix your entire life today — you just need one honest pause where you stop abandoning yourself.
Welcome to the Peaceful Mom Project.
You’re home.
👉 If you’re up for trying this — just trying honesty — I created something for you.
It’s called The Honest Work. It’s free, and it’s a simple guide to help you start noticing the lies that keep your nervous system stuck in fear, anxiety, and self-doubt — without fixing yourself or spiraling.
You don’t have to change your whole life.
You don’t have to get it right.
You have to be willing to look at what’s true.
