#48 You Can’t Show Up If You’re Shut Down by Hilary Rose

What this episode covers

You can be doing everything right… and still feel completely disconnected.In this solo episode, Hilary Rose explores why being busy and productive isn’t the same as being present. When your nervous system is in survival mode, clarity, creativity and connection are hard to access.This is a gentle invitation to stop overriding your body and start listening to it. If showing up feels difficult, it’s not a failure – it’s information.Through the simple idea of giving yourself 1% of your day, just 14.4 minutes, Hilary encourages you to pause, notice what’s happening internally, and begin rebuilding self-trust through small, honest choices.Showing up isn’t about productivity. It’s about presence.Key topics we discuss:Why you can’t show up when your nervous system is in survival modeThe difference between being physically present and truly thereOverriding the body and calling depletion “normal”1% of your day - why 14.4 minutes mattersSlowing down and noticing physical cues in the bodySelf-trust as small, honest course correctionsAsking better questions: What do I need?
