Stop Waiting for a Breakdown to Take a Break with Sarah Stokes

If you've ever dreamed of a hospital stay just to get a break (guilty!), this episode is for you. Sarah and I crack open the truth about how we ignore our body's whispers until they start screaming - whether it's migraines, burnout, or a mysterious case of adult-level grumpiness. From feather nudges to metaphorical Mack trucks, we explore how our bodies are basically yelling, "Stop volunteering for crap you hate!" We talk about: Why self-care isn't selfish (and might just save your sanity). "Feather, rock, truck" – the escalation path of ignoring your intuition. How resentment and migraines might be soul-siblings. Ditching the "busy badge" and choosing joy instead. Reclaiming the right to do absolutely nothing (and love it). Why being awkward and honest beats perfection every time. This episode is full of real talk, belly laughs, and gentle-but-firm reminders to check in with your own damn needs before your body checks you into a hospital.
