About this listen
You're checking all the boxes: eating well, exercising, prioritizing sleep, and trying to "take better care of yourself." And yet, the exhaustion won't go away.
In this episode, we unpack why chronic fatigue and burnout often persist even when you're doing everything right. The issue isn't motivation, discipline, or another habit you need to optimize. It's what's happening in your nervous system.
We explore how prolonged stress keeps the body stuck in fight-or-flight, why traditional rest doesn't always lead to recovery, and how high-functioning individuals are especially prone to this kind of quiet burnout. You'll learn why your body may feel constantly "on," even when your mind wants to slow down, and what it actually takes to restore energy at a physiological level.
If you feel tired no matter how much you rest, wired but exhausted, or frustrated that healthy habits aren't working the way they used to, this episode will help you understand the root cause and where to begin shifting out of survival mode and into true recovery.
