EP532. Have you ever noticed that the second you finally get a break, on vacation, or even just a quiet afternoon... you crash? That’s the let-down effect: when your body finally feels safe enough to relax, all the exhaustion you’ve been holding back shows up.

In this solo episode, Renee talks about what the let-down effect really is, why so many moms experience it, and three simple practices she is looking into that can help regulate your nervous system day-to-day:

1. Breath work to calm your body in the moment
2. Journaling to process emotions and release mental clutter
3. Cutting back on social media/phone use to give your brain real rest

If you feel like you’re constantly running on fumes, stuck in fight-or-flight, or crashing the second you get a break... this one’s for you.
