EP 5 - Why Does "What's for Dinner?" Make You Want to Scream?

Do you ever feel like a hero at the office—the calm "fire extinguisher" who handles every crisis with a smile—only to walk through your front door and lose your mind because someone asked what’s for dinner?You’re not a "cold bitch" or a "bad partner." You’re experiencing The Saint Paradox.In this solo episode, Dr. Kate Rodriguez dives into the messy reality of burnout and why we often give our best "Saint" energy to strangers while saving our most exhausted, "shitshow" selves for the people we love most. She breaks down the science of why your brain's "CEO" (the prefrontal cortex) goes offline by 6:00 PM, leaving your "Fire Alarm" (the amygdala) in charge of your evening.
