Tired But Wired? Why Your Nervous System Is Begging for a Reset

Loves, let’s get real — if you’ve been feeling tired, disconnected, foggy, or like you’re just not yourself lately, this episode is for you. I’m pulling back the curtain on the truth about burnout — the kind that doesn’t just go away with a nap or another cup of coffee.

In this heart-to-heart solocast, I share what I’ve learned (and lived) about survival mode, nervous system dysregulation, emotional fatigue, and the invisible drains we don’t even realize are stealing our energy. And I’ll walk you through 3 powerful reasons why burnout might be happening in your life — and what you can actually do to start healing.

For the mamas carrying it all—this is your permission to pause. Chai Tonics was crafted with soul, our blends and tools designed to ground your energy, calm your mind, and help you slow down. Start your mini ritual today at https://bit.ly/chaitonics and use code BRAVE for 15% off.
