Episode Title:
When Rest Feels Impossible: The Nervous System Side of Exhaustion
---
Episode Description:
In this episode of Flourish Unfiltered: Ending Exhaustion for Working Moms, we’re breaking down why so many moms can’t relax — even when they finally get a moment to themselves.
If slowing down feels harder than staying busy… if your brain speeds up the moment your body slows down… if rest feels unsafe, confusing, or even guilt-inducing… this episode explains why.
We’ll cover:
• Why the nervous system makes rest feel unsafe
• What “functional freeze” looks like in everyday mom life
• How elevated cortisol keeps your body stuck in survival mode
• Why exhaustion is not a mindset issue — it’s a safety issue
• Simple, realistic tools to retrain your body to rest again
✨ Flourish Step: Practice “Micro-Safety.”
Choose one moment each day that signals safety — not productivity.
This might be a 60-second breathing pause, finishing a meal without multitasking, or a 5-minute walk without your phone.
You’re teaching your nervous system: “It’s okay to exhale again.”
