You’re productive. You’re high-functioning. You get stuff done.

But when it’s finally time to rest?
You can’t. Your brain is busy, your body’s tense, and you end up scrolling your way into another restless night.

In this episode, I’m diving into what’s really going on when you can’t switch off — even when you’re beyond exhausted.

We’ll explore:

• Why rest feels uncomfortable (even when your body is screaming for it)
• What autonomic rigidity is, and why it’s keeping you stuck in a go-go-go mode
• The “Window of Tolerance” and how to know when you’re in it (or totally out of it)
• How to start retraining your nervous system to return to calm — without forcing or fixing

Plus:
I’ll share effective ways to start shifting your state today.
