You're not detached.
You're not cold.
She’s doing what she thinks she has to, staying informed to stay prepared.
But what if staying "aware" is slowly wearing you down?
In this episode, we explore the other side of crisis fatigue: the woman who’s not numb, but hypervigilant. The one constantly scanning headlines, replaying news, and bracing for what’s next… because part of her believes preparedness will protect her.
I talk about:
- The false sense of control that comes from constant “knowing”
- Why your nervous system doesn’t differentiate between horror movies and headlines
- How crisis addiction sneaks in as a survival response
- And how to recognize when your vigilance is actually eroding your peace
If you’ve been stuck in a loop of doomscrolling, high alert, or “just in case” preparation, this might be your reset.
