Hey loves! Have you ever looked at your to-do list and felt so bone-deep tired that no amount of sleep, coffee, or hustle could fix it? In this soul-nourishing solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what’s really going on when your body is screaming for rest, but your life keeps demanding more. 

We dive into the invisible energy drains behind burnout, the trauma patterns that keep you stuck in survival mode, and what your nervous system is actually begging you to pay attention to.

Whether you're navigating motherhood, ambition, loss, or just that low hum of exhaustion—you’re not alone. This is your reminder that you’re not broken, you’re just burned out. And there is a way through.

What you'll get out of this episode… 

• What your exhaustion is actually trying to tell you—and why it’s not about getting more sleep
• The science behind why women are chronically fatigued (and rarely get real answers)
• The five trauma responses you might be stuck in (without even knowing it)
• Why emotional eating, brain fog, and burnout are all nervous system red flags
• Ancient rituals that support modern-day healing (even when you’re short on time)
• What I discovered about hormone health, energy crashes, and why chai was my turning point
• A look at the sacred connection between nervous system healing and ancestral memory
• How to turn your daily tea break into a powerful, healing act of self-love
