EP 92 | The Real Reason Self-Care Isn’t Working for You (and What Actually Does)

If you’ve ever wondered why the massages, pedicures, or “treat yourself” moments don’t actually make you feel restored and grounded, this episode will finally bring clarity.

Women today are carrying a level of mental load and emotional responsibility that traditional self-care simply can’t touch. And when you’re juggling so much, it’s easy to blame yourself for feeling overwhelmed — when the truth is, the model we’ve been given doesn’t support the reality of a woman’s nervous system, hormones, or daily rhythm.

In this episode, we break down why self-care isn’t working, why so many women are stuck in survival mode, and what actually helps you feel calm, connected, and back in your body again. These are the tools I teach inside my community and the exact practices I use in my own life to prevent burnout before it happens.

Don’t worry, you won’t be adding more to your plate. This is about finally understanding what your mind and body have been asking for all along.

What you’ll learn:

• Why traditional self-care fails women—and what your nervous system really needs

• How the mental load blocks your ability to relax (even during downtime)

• A simple practice to reconnect with your intuition in the middle of a busy day

• How a morning sit spot sets the tone for emotional regulation and clarity

• How to shift out of survival mode using alpha and theta brainwaves

• Why community is essential for women’s emotional well-being

• How self-connection helps you make aligned decisions without second-guessing yourself
