The Moment I Realized I Was Losing Myself In Motherhood

The Capacity Myth: Why You're Exhausted (And It's Not Because You're Broken)

When was the last time you made it through a day and felt okay? Not amazing. Not healed. Not thriving. Just okay. If you're struggling to remember, this episode is for you. So many of us walk through life feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, irritable, and convinced that everyone else is somehow handling life better. We tell ourselves we just don't have enough capacity—or worse, that we were born with less of it. But what if that's not true? In this episode, Silvia Hazel explores why capacity isn't a fixed trait and why feeling like you're constantly running on empty doesn't mean you're broken. Together, we'll look at the hidden drains on your energy—from inflammation, toxins, and chronic infections to perfectionism, nervous system overload, and the unique challenges faced by neurodivergent minds. If you've ever wondered why life feels harder than it should, why rest never seems to be enough, or why you're working so hard just to keep up, this conversation may help you see yourself through a different lens. Because the problem isn't that you're weak. The problem may be that your bucket has holes in it. And once you find them, you can begin to reclaim your capacity, your energy, and your life.

The Moment I Realized I Was Losing Myself In Motherhood

A quiet, honest conversation about the version of motherhood I didn’t question for a long time — and what shifted when I finally did. No big breaking point. Just a slow realization that I had started abandoning myself… and calling it being a good mother. This is about what it looked like to come back to myself, question what I’d been taught, and find a way of being that actually supports both me and my family.

Coming Back to Yourself: Presence, Safety, and the Body

This episode is a reflection on what it really means to come back to yourself. I share the quiet grief that can arise when you realize how often you’ve been living in your mind instead of your body, and why that disconnection isn’t a failure, but something that once protected you. We talk about presence, not as a concept, but as a practice. A return to what is real, even when it feels uncomfortable. I share how I’ve been learning to meet myself in those moments instead of leaving, and why safety in the body is the foundation for healing. If you’ve been feeling scattered, disconnected, or like you’re constantly somewhere else, this is a gentle invitation to come back.

When Excitement Turns Into Urgency: Breaking the Burnout Cycle

This week I’m sharing something close to my heart. I’ve been noticing how excitement in my life can quickly turn into urgency. Like I have to use the energy right away or I’ll lose it. I talk about where that comes from, what it feels like in my body, and the quiet crash that follows. This is really about learning to trust that aliveness can stay. And wanting to be more present for the moments that matter most. If you’ve ever felt this too, you’re not alone.

Before the World Had Rules

Step away from the curated world and into something older, deeper, and untouched. This episode explores the wild spaces we once knew, places without paths, rules, or the need to control. Through reflection, we are reminded of a world that still exists just beyond our awareness, alive and unstructured. This is a return to something we did not realize we lost, a sense of belonging to life instead of trying to manage it. What happens when we stop controlling and start remembering?
