Are you constantly trying to “fix” yourself, scanning every thought, analyzing every feeling, and pushing harder to finally feel okay? If so, no wonder you’re exhausted.
In this episode, we’ll talk about why the fix-it cycle keeps highly sensitive introverts stuck in overthinking mode, and why your emotions don’t actually want to be solved. You’ll learn a simple practice to pause, soften, and give yourself permission to rest instead of performing emotional gymnastics.
If you’ve been trying so hard to “get it right” but still feel drained, this conversation will show you a gentler way forward.
