Ep. 84 | Can’t Feel Joy? Your Nervous System May Be Depleted (Not Broken)

Valentine’s season can crank up the pressure to feel warm, happy, and connected… even when you’re running on fumes. In this special Sweet On Me Summit presentation, I’m breaking down why joy often disappears in burnout—not because you’re “negative” or spiritually failing, but because your nervous system is stuck in survival and your body is physically depleted. You’ll hear: •Why joy doesn’t come back by trying harder (and why gratitude journals might not touch it yet) •What “wired but tired” really means—and how it blocks pleasure •The functional root causes I see all the time: mineral depletion, under-eating, blood sugar crashes, and chronic stress load •How “pleasure” is actually a safety signal in the body (not indulgence or laziness) •Simple micro-practices that rebuild capacity: pausing before meals, creating tiny nervous-system downshifts, and learning to sit without planning the next thing If you’ve been telling yourself “I’ve lost my joy” and you don’t know how to get it back… this episode will help you stop blaming your mindset and start supporting your body—so joy can return quietly, one small shift at a time.
