Feeling exhausted by nonstop to-dos while your mind refuses to slow down? This solo episode explores how overthinking keeps us stuck in motion—even when what we actually need is rest.
In this honest check-in, Nikki P shares what it’s like to balance creating, parenting, working, and navigating big life transitions while trying to stay emotionally present. Instead of hustle culture fixes, she offers a grounded 5-minute pause practice: stop, ask “What do I need right now?”, listen without judgment, and choose the next small step.
This episode weaves emotional intelligence, boundaries, nervous-system awareness, and self-compassion into real life—when quitting isn’t an option, but burnout isn’t sustainable either. If you’re living in the messy middle—tired, driven, and still longing for meaning—this conversation helps you recalibrate without abandoning what matters.
Because rest isn’t failure. And slowing down doesn’t mean giving up.
