We survived the pandemic… but did we really heal from it? In this episode of Don’t Judge Me But, James Sweat, Tierra, and Simplee Bree dig into the long-lasting emotional and mental burnout triggered by COVID—and how it’s still affecting how we show up in life, love, and work.

💡 From isolation to grief, survival mode to over-functioning, we break down the toll the pandemic took on our nervous systems—and why so many of us are still exhausted, even in 2025. If you’ve been feeling like you never fully bounced back, this is your validation and your roadmap to reclaiming your energy.
