Ep 49 - Overwhelm, Worry and Your Nervous System
from Soulful and Sober | Alcohol Free Living for Midlife Women Hosted by Chrissy Janiga | Intuitive Alcohol Free Coach
In this episode of Soulful and Sober, I’m talking about those seasons when you feel constantly overwhelmed, worried, and like your brain just won’t shut off especially when you’re sober or changing your relationship with alcohol. I break down what’s actually happening in your body when you’re in “protection mode” (fight, flight, freeze, fawn), and how things like burnout, perfectionism, pressure to have it all together, and people pleasing can leave you feeling unmotivated, inflamed, exhausted, and stuck. I also share how alcohol, emotional eating, scrolling, and overworking can become ways we numb out when our nervous system doesn’t feel safe and why you are not a failure if you keep finding yourself in those loops. You’ll hear simple, practical tools to calm your body (like breathwork, movement, brain dumps, and nervous system regulation), start listening to what you actually need, and gently move from chronic overwhelm into more safety, presence, and self-compassion.
