Feeling emotionally numb? You're not alone. Many of us have become "smart, sad zombies" - we can analyze our feelings and name our patterns, but we can't actually process emotions or break free from emotional numbness.
In this episode, we explore why intellectual understanding doesn't equal emotional healing, and how to stop avoiding your feelings through shopping, scrolling, and overthinking.
What You'll Learn:
Key Topics Covered:
If you've been trying to think your way out of sadness, buy your way out of emptiness, or scroll your way past anxiety - this episode offers a different path.

This Week's Reflection: Ask yourself - "Am I avoiding or am I actually processing?"
Perfect for anyone struggling with emotional numbness, overthinking patterns, shopping addiction, social media avoidance, or feeling disconnected from their emotions.
