What If You're Not Burned Out. What If You've Just Been Strong For Too Long

What If You're Not Burned Out. What If You've Just Been Strong For Too Long

Have you ever looked around and thought, "Why am I so exhausted? I haven't done anything different." Maybe you tell yourself you're just burned out. But what if that's not the whole story? What if you've simply been the strong one for too long? In this episode, we're talking about the emotional weight of always being the dependable person—the one who keeps showing up, solves everyone else's problems, holds the family together, and pushes through even when you're running on empty. We'll explore why being "strong" can become its own form of emotional exhaustion, the signs that your nervous system has been carrying too much for too long, and how to begin caring for yourself without feeling guilty. If you've ever felt like you're surviving instead of living, this conversation is for you. Remember—you don't have to earn the right to rest. Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is finally admit that you're tired. 🌐 Learn more or book a session: https://www.LisaTarves.com [https://www.lisatarves.com/] 💙 More support: https://www.RealTalkForYourOverthinkingMind.com [https://www.realtalkforyouroverthinkingmind.com/] If this episode helped you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who's been carrying more than they let on.

THE GRIEF NOBODY RECOGNIZES - The Loss That Comes With Aging

Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt a strange sense of loss—not because of vanity, but because life is changing? Aging brings wisdom, experience, and perspective. But it can also bring grief. Not the kind of grief we usually talk about, but the quiet grief of realizing time has passed. The grief of watching your children grow up, your body change, your parents age, your roles shift, and your life enter a new chapter. In this episode of Real Talk for Your Overthinking Mind, we’re talking about a form of grief that many people experience but rarely recognize. If you’ve ever missed a younger version of yourself, wondered where the years went, or felt emotional about getting older, you’re not alone—and there’s nothing wrong with you. We’ll explore why aging can feel like a loss, why these emotions are completely normal, and how to navigate this stage of life with more compassion and understanding. If this conversation resonates with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. I’m Lisa Tarves, and I help people make sense of what they’re feeling so they can actually feel better.

REAL TALK for Your Overthinking Mind, with Lisa Tarves. #10 - My First Live Experience

REAL TALK for Your Overthinking Mind Podcast #10 I Thought More People Would Show Up… | My First Live Experience - (BACKSTAGE BEFORE AND AFTER INCLUDED!!!) Tonight I’m talking honestly about doing my very first live… and the overthinking spiral that came afterward. I went into it excited, nervous, hopeful… and then found myself wondering if I failed because only one person joined the live for a reading. But here’s the thing nobody talks about: sometimes growth feels awkward before it feels successful. In this episode, I talk about: the anxiety before going live the pressure we put on ourselves what happened during my first live overthinking after trying something brave my experiences seeing Angels as a child the work I do with clients learning in real time instead of waiting to feel “ready” And somewhere in the middle of all of that… I hit 10,000 subscribers on YouTube. And honestly, I’m still figuring out the technical side of all of this too. Sometimes I wish there were a simpler way because the uploading takes forever and the exporting takes forever. But I’m learning that creating content is a process, and every creator has to find a rhythm that works for them over time. Also… if you’re new to creating content, yes — the process can feel like a lot at first. Right now my workflow looks like this: record the video transfer and upload it into CapCut edit everything there export it back to my computer upload it to YouTube then share the link across social media And honestly? That’s pretty normal for most creators. It sounds overwhelming when you list every step out, but after you do it a few times, it becomes more routine. Most creators eventually develop their own system and shortcuts that make the process easier and faster. So maybe this episode is really about what happens when we stop measuring success only by immediate validation… and start recognizing growth while we’re still in the middle of becoming. If you’ve ever felt discouraged after trying something new, this conversation is for you. — Lisa Tarves Real Talk for Your Overthinking Mind
