Stop Waiting for a Breakdown to Take a Break with Sarah Stokes

If you’ve ever dreamed of a hospital stay just to get a break (guilty!), this episode is for you.

Sarah and I crack open the truth about how we ignore our body’s whispers until they start screaming - whether it’s migraines, burnout, or a mysterious case of adult-level grumpiness.

From feather nudges to metaphorical Mack trucks, we explore how our bodies are basically yelling, “Stop volunteering for crap you hate!”

We talk about:

• Why self-care isn’t selfish (and might just save your sanity).
• “Feather, rock, truck” – the escalation path of ignoring your intuition.
• How resentment and migraines might be soul-siblings.
• Ditching the “busy badge” and choosing joy instead.
• Reclaiming the right to do absolutely nothing (and love it).
• Why being awkward and honest beats perfection every time.
• This episode is full of real talk, belly laughs, and gentle-but-firm reminders to check in with your own damn needs before your body checks you into a hospital.
