When Did You Stop Feeling Alive? Reconnecting with Joy, Presence & Yourself

When Did You Stop Feeling Alive? Reconnecting with Joy, Presence & Yourself

What if the reason you feel disconnected isn't that you've lost your purpose, but because you've lost touch with what makes you feel alive?

In this episode of Your Odyssey Podcast, Tara and Karen explore the quiet ways we drift away from ourselves through responsibility, achievement, survival mode, and the endless pressure to keep doing more.

Together, they unpack why joy doesn't live at the end of a completed to-do list, how aliveness often shows up in ordinary moments, and what it looks like to reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been waiting for your attention.

In This Episode

  • Why many women feel disconnected despite doing "everything right"
  • The difference between functioning and feeling alive
  • How achievement can quietly pull us away from ourselves
  • Why joy isn't waiting at the finish line
  • Small ways to reconnect with aliveness in everyday life

If you've been functioning but not fully feeling, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, pay attention, and begin finding your way back.
