S1 Ep 7: The Laziness Lie

What if exhaustion is not a personal failure…but the inevitable result of living in constant self-abandonment? In this episode of Witchy Sh!t by Design, Michaela explores the conditioning many women carry around rest, productivity, usefulness, and people pleasing — and why slowing down can feel genuinely unsafe to the nervous system. This is a conversation about burnout that goes deeper than bubble baths and better time management. It’s about the quiet ways women learn to override themselves in order to be accepted, needed, praised, or loved. Today, we unpack: * why rest often triggers guilt and anxiety * how people pleasing becomes a survival strategy * The damaging myth of “laziness” * why exhausted women are easier to control * and how community and safe connection help us return to ourselves If you’ve ever felt like you’re functioning on fumes while pretending everything is “fine”, this episode is for you. Rest is not earned. Your body is not a machine. And you do not have to destroy yourself to deserve your own humanity  To connect with Michaela and learn what discovering self trust can do for you, Witchyshitbydesign.com [http://Witchyshitbydesign.com] michaela@witchyshitbydesign.com [michaela@witchyshitbydesign.com] Instagram @mikkigaffenstone, Facebook Michaela Gaffen Stone.
