{15.11} You’ve Slowed Down. Why Do You Still Feel So Tired?
Listen on:
You finally get a pocket of time to yourself… and then spend the whole thing deciding what to do with it.
By the time you’ve scrolled through WhatsApp, picked up a stray sock, and stood staring at the kettle, the moment’s gone. You were desperate for rest... so why didn’t it feel restful?
This week’s episode explores what’s really making rest feel impossible, even when you’re doing “all the right things”. If you’ve ever thought, “Why can’t I switch off?”, this one’s for you.
In this episode, I talk about:
Why your nervous system doesn’t register “rest” as safe anymore
How mental load is quietly draining your capacity all day
The link between emotional labour and feeling like rest doesn’t count
What true rest actually looks like in this season of motherhood
Three gentle ways to make your body feel more supported this week
