8. Tired But Wired? The 3 Mental States That Drain Your Focus and Energy

If you ever feel “tired but wired” halfway through your day — drained but unable to switch off — your brain might be stuck in one of three mental states that quietly sabotage focus, energy, and presence.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to spot which state you’re in and the simple shifts to get your mind and body back into clarity and flow.

You’ll discover:

• The 3 mental states you cycle through every day — and which one keeps you stuck
• Why you feel disconnected or distracted (even when nothing’s “wrong”)
• How your nervous system and brain rhythm affect focus and creativity
• Simple daily resets to boost mental clarity and cognitive energy

If you’re ready to break the cycle of feeling drained and distracted, this framework will help you shift gears — literally — and get back into your most powerful mental state.
