Communicating When You're Running on Empty

We often assume that becoming a better communicator is about learning the right techniques, choosing better words or becoming more confident. But what if communication is often less about skill, and more about capacity?In this episode, Hannah explores how stress, burnout and emotional exhaustion quietly shape the way we communicate at work and at home. From overthinking simple emails to snapping at the people we love or avoiding conversations altogether, she reflects on why communication becomes so much harder when we’re running on empty.Drawing on psychology, personal experience and practical reflection, Hannah shares why recognising your own capacity is one of the kindest things you can do for yourself and the people around you. Together, you’ll explore how to approach difficult conversations with greater clarity, why waiting is sometimes wiser than reacting, and how thoughtful communication begins long before we choose our words.This is an episode for anyone who has ever finished a conversation and thought, “That wasn’t really the version of me I wanted to bring.”Take the 5-minute free 'What's Next For Me?' check-in: whatsnextforme.scoreapp.comGet The Purpose Pursuit Book: https://geni.us/ThePurposePursuit Join the community - The Purpose Pursuit Together: hellohannahmiller.substack.com Connect with Hannah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hellohannahmiller/Connect with Hannah on Facebook: ​​https://www.facebook.com/hellohannahmillerListen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-purpose-pursuit/id1728277525?i=1000679973398Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0wrBZfttoflvzJCjMyhjCk?si=1759c32ac727443c
