When motivation disappears, emotions feel bigger, and even simple things feel hard, it’s easy to believe something is wrong with you. In this episode, we gently unpack what’s actually happening when your nervous system has been under stress for too long. You’ll learn why exhaustion, shutdown, and overwhelm are often signs of protection — not failure — and why nothing about this means you’re weak or broken. This is a compassionate reframe for anyone who’s been carrying more than they were meant to carry alone.
