When both my cars broke down at the same time, my nervous system wanted to catastrophize—"This is terrible! Everything's falling apart! I can even make 'bad' things a reflection on how I've somehow failed!! Sound familiar?

In this episode, I'm getting vulnerable about my own tendency toward hypervigilance and being able to see patterns has been an incredible gift and also a curse that can drain my vitality.

You'll discover:

• Why your "gift" for seeing patterns might be keeping you exhausted
• The difference between healthy awareness and nervous system hypervigilance
• How catastrophizing creates the biochemical stress response that depletes you
• Two powerful questions to ask when you're spinning out
• Practical tools to orient yourself to safety in the present moment

If you're exhausted despite doing "all the right things," this episode will help you understand how your nervous system—not your circumstances—might be the real issue.
