You finally sit down.

Your tea’s next to you, but you’re not really tasting it.

Your body feels tense, your brain’s racing, and you’re already thinking about what you “should” be doing next.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not broken, and you’re not bad at resting.

Your body has just learned that slowing down isn’t safe.

In this episode, I share:

• Why you might feel on edge, emotional, or guilty when you stop
• How growing up with pressure, chaos, or always being “on it” can train your brain to only feel safe when you’re busy
• The difference between looking relaxed and actually feeling it
• Simple ways to make rest feel easier, without forcing yourself to sit still and “switch off”

If you’ve ever thought, “I just can’t switch off,” this will help you understand why, and give you easy ways to start changing it.
