Have you noticed how heavy the world feels lately? Between the government shutdown, nonstop news updates, and the endless scroll of social media, it’s easy to slip into survival mode. You’re not sad exactly… but you’re not joyful either. You’re just flat. Disconnected. I know that space well, because I’ve lived it too. And what I’ve learned — both personally and through years of working with clients — is that this isn’t just about stress. It’s about how our nervous system and our shadow respond to uncertainty. In this episode, I share: ✨ Why joy is often the first thing to disappear in times of chaos ✨ How numbing (scrolling, Netflix binges, overeating, overworking) tricks us into thinking we’re “relaxing” ✨ Stories of how the shadow holds us back from joy — and what happens when we finally listen ✨ Simple tools to reconnect with your body, regulate your nervous system, and rediscover joy in the middle of the noise Because even when life feels overwhelming, your nervous system doesn’t need perfection to feel safe — it just needs presence. And when you start tending to that, joy has a way of sneaking back in. 👉 Tune in to this week’s episode and let’s explore how to move from numb to alive again.
