167. How to Stop Feeling Exhausted: Nervous System Repair 101

Listen Later

Rest is not the same as restoration, and your nervous system can feel the difference. If you’re exhausted from “getting through the day,” this conversation is for you.

In this episode, Tara, Maria, and Elizabeth unpack the difference between rest, relaxation, and true restoration and why your nervous system desperately needs all three. They explore what burnout really feels like in mid-life, especially for women juggling motherhood, marriage, careers, emotional labor, and the invisible mental load. 

They also introduce Exhale, their in-person one-day retreat in Annapolis designed to help you feel safe, seen, supported, and truly restored alongside other women.

In this episode:

  • Understand the crucial difference between rest, relaxation, and restoration—and why only one truly rebuilds your capacity for “vigor and health.”
  • Recognize the signs of a depleted nervous system and how distraction and over-responsibility keep you stuck in survival mode.
  • Learn how time and energy function as boundaries, and why saying “no” (even to your kids) can be a powerful act of self-respect.
  • Get practical ideas for creating restorative rituals that fit into real life, from simple shower routines to mindset shifts and reframes.
  • Hear how the Exhale retreat in Annapolis is designed to remove your mental load, offer co-regulation, and give you a full day of being safe, seen, and supported.
