145// I've been so good at holding it together, and now I am tired.

If you have ever found yourself thinking, nothing is actually wrong, so why am I so exhausted, this episode is for you. You know...the bone-deep kind of tired. The kind that sits underneath. For a lot of high functioning women (hi, its me), feeling got quietly set aside a long time ago. Why? Because there was always something more pressing going on. Something to handle, someone to show up for, a problem to solve. Functioning became the default mode, and over time, the feelings just... waited. In this episode I am talking about self override. The small, everyday moments where we jump to solutions before we have truly felt the problem. Where we tell ourselves it is fine or "I'm fiiiine" (said as Ross Geller), others have it worse. Where we keep moving because stopping feels more dangerous than staying busy. Each of those moments on its own feels minor. But the accumulation of them over months and years is what creates that heaviness, the exhaustion. That sense of being far from yourself. That not knowing what you actually want anymore. This is a learned strategy that made a lot of sense once. And it is worth understanding where it came from before you try to change it. We also go into what actually happens in the body when emotions are consistently overridden. They do not dissolve. They accumulate. They take up space. And they make clarity hard to access even when life is genuinely quiet. The question I want to leave you with after this episode is a simple one. When was the last time you let yourself feel something fully, without immediately moving to fix it, reframe it, or set it aside? Sit with that answer.
