This episode is for you if you’ve ever told yourself: “It’s just once a week.” “Maybe I just need to try harder.” “Why am I so tired after something that was supposed to be fun?”
In this honest and tender reflection, I share my own journey with subtle energy drains—from improv classes to social time with friends to even how I was walking my dog. As HSPs and neurodivergent creatives, we often override our needs in the name of “normal,” only to spiral into exhaustion, melancholy, or creative block.
You’ll hear:
How I recognized the hidden cost of doing too much
What overstimulation really steals from us (not just time, but joy)
Why rest isn’t optional—it’s sacred
Reflections and boundary questions inspired by Debbie Ford’s 10 questions
How all this impacts our ability to create from a place of pleasure
If you’ve been questioning your rhythms, your limits, your capacity—this is a gentle reminder that protecting your energy is part of your art.
