Are You Too Exhausted to Rest—Even When You Try?

When you're emotionally drained but can't seem to relax, rest alone may not be the answer. Discover why traditional rest strategies often fail highly sensitive people and what you can do instead.

If you're an HSP who's ever gone to bed early only to lie awake, or taken a weekend off and felt just as depleted, you're not alone. This episode dives into the emotional roots that block true rest and what you can do when your mind simply won’t let go—even when your body is begging for a break.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • Why emotional attachment keeps you in a cycle of exhaustion—even when you carve out time to rest.

  • How to identify and release the thoughts that keep your nervous system stuck in overdrive.

  • A proven inquiry technique that helps you dissolve emotional stress and reclaim your energy.

Press play to unlock the deeper rest your body and mind are craving—without having to escape your life to get it.
