In this episode, I share a real client story that highlights a pattern I see again and again in my work: people doing all the right things on paper, yet feeling more stressed, exhausted, and depleted as a result.

We explore how modern wellbeing culture can push us towards overdoing, over-optimising, and confusing busyness with progress... and why, for many people, the most supportive thing they can do for their health isn’t adding more habits, but simplifying.

This episode is especially relevant if you:

1. Feel like you’re trying to “do wellbeing properly” but still feel exhausted
2. Are juggling lots of habits, routines, tools, or strategies
3. Struggle with sleep, stress, or constant pressure despite doing “healthy” things
4. Suspect your nervous system might be overloaded

In this episode, I cover:

1. Why doing more isn’t always better for wellbeing
2. How stress drives people towards intensity and control
3. The hidden cost of overcommitting and over-optimising
4. Why simplifying can lead to better results, not worse
5. How reducing pressure often changes more than any new routine
