Episode 151 - Your Body Was Never Meant to Hold This

Over the last few weeks, the constant exposure to human suffering, injustice, and horrifying information has felt like an avalanche. If you’ve been taking this in through social media and the news like I have, you might notice yourself swinging between obsessing and shutting down, or believing that if you look away or take a break, it means you don’t care. In this episode, I share what helped me understand what was actually happening in my nervous system and why feeling overwhelmed doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means your body was never meant to hold all of this. Here’s what I cover:

An Instagram post that helped me understand how the overwhelm we’re living through impacts the body
How flooding ourselves with horrific information without containment destabilizes our nervous systems
Why empathy and good girl conditioning can turn caring into self-sacrifice
Three things to pay attention to so we can stay connected to the truth without losing ourselves
What it looks like to give yourself permission to decide what level of engagement is right for you
