When You’re Just So Tired: Honoring Melancholy, Burnout, and the Need to Rest

There are seasons when your soul just feels tired — when even hope feels heavy, and all you want is to stop trying for a while. In this In the Nude episode, we’re talking about the quiet ache of melancholy and emotional exhaustion — how it often comes after giving too much, caring too deeply, and pushing far past your window of tolerance.

This isn’t about “fixing your attitude.” It’s about honoring your humanity. We’ll talk about why this drained, numb, foggy place shows up — how it’s a natural signal from your nervous system, not a failure — and how to refill what’s been emptied through gentleness, creativity, rest, and tiny glimmers of joy.

You don’t need to be perky or positive to be healing. You just need to be honest — and kind to yourself in the quiet.
