Episode 28 - Why You Feel Like You’re Falling Apart (Even When You’re ‘Holding It All Together’)

You’re capable. You’re organised. You’re the one everyone relies on.

And yet, when the house finally goes quiet and the kids are in bed, you feel like you’re quietly fraying - your body tense, your brain still spinning, your chest tight with everything you haven’t even processed yet.

This episode is for the high-functioning woman who’s “holding it all together”… but feels like she might fall apart if she stops.

Inside, I’ll break down:

• Why functioning well doesn’t mean you’re feeling well
• The invisible cost of living in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn
• How nervous system overload hides behind capability
• Why stillness can feel unsafe - even when you crave it
• The difference between structure that supports you vs. structure that just props you up

Because this isn’t about motivation or discipline. It’s about capacity - your internal resources, not just your output.

We’ll also explore the uncomfortable but important question:

👉 “What if the goal wasn’t just to function well… but to feel well?”

If your evenings are filled with to-do lists instead of rest, if you’re doing everything “right” but still feel off, this is your invitation to pause, get honest, and build a different kind of support.
