165. Why Complaining Feels Good—But Wires You for Emotional Burnout
Hey friend,
Do you feel like venting is the only way to cope right now?
Could your brain fog and fatigue be connected to constant stress loops?
What if your complaining habit is actually making it harder to feel better?
In this episode, I explore the surprising neuroscience behind why complaining feels good—but also keeps your brain wired for chronic stress. If you’re exhausted, overstimulated, and tempted to vent constantly during this back-to-school chaos, this episode offers a compassionate look at what’s happening inside your nervous system. You’ll learn how negative thought loops reinforce fatigue, brain fog, and burnout—and how to gently reset without guilt, shame, or toxic positivity.
