Ep 24 | Why you’re so tired (even after sleeping) - The science of stress
You know stress messes with your mood… but what if it’s messing with everything else too?
In this solo episode of The Brain Changers™, I breaks down how stress affects far more than just how you feel. From muscle tension to gut issues, fatigue to mental fog - it’s not all in your head. It’s in your nervous system.
You’ll learn why stress responses are wired into your brain, how those old beliefs you picked up in childhood are still influencing your inner dialogue, and most importantly, some simple tools to help you calm your system without overhauling your life.
What you’ll learn from this episode: ✅ Why stress isn’t just emotional, it’s a full-body experience ✅ How your Crocodile, Puppy, and Professor brains respond under pressure ✅ The hidden beliefs and scripts that keep your system stuck in overdrive ✅ Simple, science-backed tools to regulate your nervous system - anytime, anywhere (and they're free!)
Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome and intro to the mind-body stress connection 02:25 – Meet your Crocodile, Puppy, and Professor brains 06:50 – How stress hijacks your nervous system 11:30 – Why modern stress feels overwhelming (even when it “shouldn’t”) 15:15 – The role of beliefs and inner scripts in fuelling stress 21:10 – Why your self-talk matters more than you think 24:40 – Tool 1: The 3-3-3 grounding method 26:15 – Tool 2: Orienting (and why your Crocodile needs reassurance) 27:40 – Tool 3: The Physiological Sigh 30:20 – Final reflections and key takeaways
