This episode is a hard but necessary conversation.
So many women aren’t exhausted because they’re lazy, undisciplined or incapable, they’re exhausted because they’ve tied their worth to how useful they are.
In this episode, we unpack:
✨The survival cycle of overcommit, overwhelm, resentment & repeat
✨Why productivity gives you a dopamine hit but costs you cortisol
✨The real biological impact of chronic stress (hair loss, hormonal disruption, inflammation)
✨Why resting feels threatening when your identity is built on usefulness
✨How resentment builds when you give from empty
✨And the uncomfortable truth about why no one 'steps in' to help
This isn’t about doing less, it's about rewiring the belief that you only matter when you’re needed.
Healing Girl Homework:
Ask yourself honestly 'if I stopped being useful for a week… who would I be?'
and notice what comes up.
Busy isn’t valuable, regulated is🖤
