Beskrivelse

Episode Title: Season 2 episode 18 Why Do I Feel Wired but Tired? How to Calm Your Nervous System Episode Description: In this episode of Energy for Exhausted Moms, I break down the frustrating “wired but tired” feeling so many working moms experience—when you’re exhausted all day but suddenly can’t relax or fall asleep at night. We’ll cover: - Why stress overload starts as a leak in the Stress Pillar and eventually impacts Fuel, Rhythm, and Recovery - What nervous system downshifts are and why your body needs them to truly recover - Simple body-based calming tools like grounding, stretching, and somatic practices - How chronic tension keeps your nervous system stuck in survival mode - Why calming your nervous system is a form of repair—not laziness If you’re a career mom who’s tired of running on empty, this episode will give you practical steps and encouragement to help you heal your body, reclaim your energy, and truly flourish. ✨ Metabolic Habit: Create one intentional nervous system downshift before bed this week. Try gentle stretching, grounding outside, deep breathing, relaxing music, a warm shower, or simply softening your shoulders and unclenching your jaw. Tiny calming signals repeated consistently help the body feel safe enough to recover. --- Connect with Me: 📘 Join my Energy for Exhausted Moms Facebook group → https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18VXxGPjyr/ 📱 Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/misty_creaghe?igsh=NWhscWlhZmhvcmJp Work with me! 💻 Energy Reboot Session — a 60-minute Energy Audit with a personalized 14-day Micro Plan you can start tomorrow → https://1awayfitness.com/reboot 🎁 Podcast Listener Freebie!
