We've been sold a version of wellness that says if we just "self-care" enough, the overwhelm will vanish. But for many of us, the reality is a cycle of delay and guilt. We're staring at the things we need to do—the career moves, the big life pivots—and we're completely frozen. We call it "procrastination" or "being lazy," but as a nurse, I see it differently.

In this episode, we're exposing why the traditional wellness trap isn't working. When you are in a Protection Response, a bubble bath isn't the cure. Your amygdala has flagged your goals as a threat, and your body has shut down to keep you safe.

We're moving past the "lazy" label and into the science of The Freeze. I'm sharing how I use a clinical approach to "The Triage" to bypass that resistance. It's about learning how to move toward your most intimidating goals while staying grounded—transitioning from a state of "scramble" into a state of No Zero Days.
