After awakening, even the simplest questions can start to feel loaded. Conversations that once felt easy may suddenly feel draining, confusing, or strangely hollow — and that can leave you wondering what changed.

In this episode, we explore why surface-level conversations can feel harder after you wake up, what’s actually happening in your nervous system, and how to stay kind and present without abandoning yourself. This isn’t about being better than anyone or withdrawing from the world. It’s about learning how to honor your energy, your honesty, and your humanity as you integrate a deeper level of awareness.

If you’ve felt quietly out of sync in familiar spaces, this one’s for you.
