If your brain feels like it’s stuck on pause while everyone else is sprinting into September, this one’s for you.

In this episode, we’re kicking off the Back-to-School Excuses series with the most convincing lie of them all: “I just need to get through this week.” (It sounds responsible… but it’s actually your nervous system going into freeze mode.)

We’ll talk about:

  • Why your body shuts down before you even start the reset
  • What freeze mode really feels like (mentally, physically, emotionally)
  • What you do in freeze that makes you think you’re being productive
  • Three powerful insight questions to help you gently move forward without forcing it

You don’t need a planner. You need permission to feel. And I’ve got you.

And hey—thanks for hanging out with me today. Whether you were driving, folding laundry, or hiding in the bathroom with your AirPods… I’m glad you were here.
