Why You Don't Feel Like Yourself Anymore | The Mental Load, Survival Mode & Finding You Again

Why You Don't Feel Like Yourself Anymore | The Mental Load, Survival Mode & Finding You Again

Have you ever looked around at your life and thought, "I don't even know who I am anymore?" From the outside, everything might look fine. You're getting through each day, looking after everyone else, ticking off the never-ending to-do list. But inside, you feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted and disconnected from yourself. In this solo episode of Out of Her Mind, Kobi Pollock explores the invisible mental load so many women carry, why it leaves us stuck in survival mode, and how nervous system healing can help us reconnect with ourselves again. This isn't just about motherhood. It's about the emotional weight of constantly being the organiser, the planner, the one who remembers everything and holds everyone else together, while quietly losing yourself along the way. In this episode, you'll discover: ✨ Why the invisible mental load is more exhausting than the physical tasks ✨ How survival mode disconnects you from who you really are ✨ Why awareness alone doesn't create lasting change ✨ The connection between your nervous system, emotional safety and self-trust ✨ Why so many women feel like they've "lost themselves" ✨ A simple practice to help you pause, reconnect and begin coming home to yourself If you've been feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, emotionally drained or wondering where the old version of you went, this episode is your reminder that you're not broken you've simply been surviving. You deserve to feel seen, heard and accepted exactly as you are.

How To Heal Your Nervous System: From Survival Mode to Post-Traumatic Growth with Dr Emma-Leigh Senyard

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything "right" but still feel overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted or disconnected from yourself? In this episode of Out of Her Mind, I sit down with clinical psychologist Dr Emma-Leigh Senyard to explore what it really means to heal your nervous system and why so many women stay stuck in survival mode without realising it. Emma shares her own powerful story of navigating serious health challenges after becoming a mother, how she experienced post-traumatic growth, and the turning point that led her to reconnect with her body through nervous system healing, Vagus Nerve regulation and the mind-body connection. Together we discuss: • Why your nervous system may be keeping you stuck in fight, flight, freeze or fawn • The surprising signs of nervous system dysregulation • How chronic stress can show up as anxiety, burnout, IBS, migraines and exhaustion • The importance of interoception: learning to listen to your body's signals • Post-traumatic growth and finding meaning after difficult experiences • Practical ways to regulate your nervous system while juggling work, motherhood and everyday life • Why healing isn't about fixing yourself, it's about creating safety within yourself If you've been feeling like you're constantly "on," emotionally drained, overthinking everything or wondering why your body feels like it never truly relaxes, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, understood and hopeful.

Confidence isn't something you have.... it's something you build.

Celebrating Episode #50!!!!!  This has not happened without me taking action before being ready.  So many women are waiting to feel confident before they take action… but what if confidence doesn’t come first? In this episode, I share the truth about confidence, self-doubt, and the simple mindset shift that changes everything. We talk about why so many women stay stuck overthinking, avoiding discomfort, and talking themselves out of the life they truly want — and how confidence is actually built through small everyday actions. I also share my simple framework:  ✨ Recognise  ✨ Breathe  ✨ Act A practical way to stop waiting, calm your nervous system, and start building self-trust one step at a time. This episode is for the woman who knows there’s something on her heart… but fear, overwhelm, or self-doubt keeps getting in the way. You do not need to feel fully ready to begin. You just need the courage to take the next step.

Stop telling yourself you need to be ready... it's time to choose.

What if the only thing keeping you stuck… is what you’re choosing to believe? In this episode, I share a deeply personal moment... hearing my own voice on the radio and the powerful realisation that came with it. Because not long ago, I would have talked myself out of something like that. “I’m not ready.” “I’m not good enough.” “Who am I to do this?” The truth is… those thoughts don’t just disappear and they can be shifted. This episode is your invitation to: *  Recognise the patterns and beliefs keeping you stuck  *  Understand why confidence isn’t something you wait for  *  Learn how to regulate your nervous system in the moment  *  Start choosing differently even when it feels uncomfortable  You don’t need to become someone else to change your life. You just need to choose differently. Take a breath… and let this land. #MindsetShift #SelfGrowth #WomensWellness #NLP #Breathwork #PersonalDevelopment #Overthinking #Confidence #SelfBelief #NervousSystem #MindsetCoach #HealingJourney #ChooseDifferently #InnerWork #PodcastForWomen Let me know what you thought of this episode: [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2451463/fan_mail/new] Thanks for tuning in to Out Of Her Mind with Kobi Pollock, it's in these conversations, the true meaning of  WOMEN DON'T HEAL ALONE, WE HEAL IN THE REFLECTIONS OF EACHOTHER  becomes known.
