S4-Episode 2: Why Self-Care Isn't Working (And What Will)

Send us a text

You’ve tried the self-care routines.
The journaling, the meditations, the Sunday resets.

So why do you still feel disconnected, foggy, and on edge?

In this episode, Sam and I dig into why self-care often doesn’t land—especially when your nervous system is dysregulated—and what it actually takes to feel better.

This isn’t about doing more.

It’s about learning to listen to yourself better.

Because if you're not caring for yourself in the right kind of way, even the most nourishing rituals can feel like noise.

We explore:

— How self-care is often misinterpreted
— The difference between numbing, distraction and conscious regulation
— Why your body might be resisting rest (and what to do about it)
— How real change starts with reconnection
— The kind of support that actually shifts things from the inside out

This is your permission slip to stop trying so hard—and start listening differently.
