Ep 160: Episode 160: What to Do When Trauma and Post Separation Abuse Hijack Your Executive Functioning

If you’ve ever found yourself staring at a to-do list, knowing what needs to get done but feeling completely stuck… you're not alone.

You know what needs to get done. You even want to do it. But the overwhelm hits like a wave and suddenly the dishwasher, the court papers, the email you need to send—it all feels impossible.

This week’s podcast episode is for those days.

In this episode, I break down how trauma, and especially the ongoing stress of post-separation abuse, disrupts your brain’s executive function.

If you're beating yourself up for not being "productive enough," please give this episode a listen. You’ll walk away with a little more compassion for yourself—and a few tools to make life feel a bit more manageable.
