Your Body Knows

Why December Is Your Most Exhausting Month (And What to Do About It)


Listen Later

If you are tired of being told the holidays are supposed to be restful,or you're working harder than ever while everyone else seems to be winding down, or you're already exhausted and it's only December then this episode is for you.

In this episode, we're breaking down the myth of the holiday slowdown and why high-achieving women actually go into overdrive during this time of year. You'll learn what's really happening in your nervous system when you're stuck in "productivity override," why you can't just will yourself to relax, and the somatic signs that you're running on empty. Plus, I'm sharing a few practical tools you can use right now to actually downshift, even in the middle of the chaos.
