362 - Tired But Wired? 4 Nervous System Shifts That Actually Help You Rest & Recharge


Listen Later

You’re wiped, but wired. Exhausted, but your brain won’t quit.


You want to rest—but your body says, not yet.


That buzzing, edgy, can’t-sit-still feeling? It’s not a mindset problem. It’s a nervous system stuck in survival mode.


In this episode, we’re unpacking the real science behind the tired but wired paradox—and why slowing down might feel anything but restful when you’re dysregulated.


You’ll learn:
 ✔️ What “tired but wired” actually means in your nervous system
 ✔️ Why high-functioning women struggle to rest (and why it’s not your fault)
 ✔️ 4 somatic tools to help you finally feel calm, grounded, and safe again


We’ll cover the role of the vagus nerve, how mixed states hijack your energy, and why stillness can feel like a threat when your system’s braced for danger. 


Plus: high-ROI practices you can use right now to start rewiring rest into your body—without needing a week-long retreat or a silent house.
