About this listen

 Why Am I So Tired—Even When I’m Resting? You’re sleeping.
You’re slowing down when you can.
And yet… you still feel exhausted. Why does rest not feel restorative anymore?
Why do you wake up tired before the day even begins?
Why does your body feel heavy, foggy, or depleted—without a clear reason? In this episode of Momma Never Told Me, Erica explores the kind of exhaustion women are rarely warned about—the deep, lingering fatigue that doesn’t come from one long day, but from years of carrying too much. We’ll gently sit with questions like:
  • What if this tiredness isn’t laziness or burnout—but communication?
  • What has your body been holding quietly for a long time?
  • Why doesn’t “just resting” always work?
  • How do stress, emotional labor, and survival mode show up as fatigue later in life?
  • What changes when we stop trying to fix exhaustion and start listening to it?
This is not a conversation about productivity, routines, or pushing through.
It’s an invitation to soften, to release shame, and to understand what your body might be asking for now. If you’ve been feeling tired in a way that’s hard to explain—this episode is for you. 🎵 Music Attributions Daytime TV Theme by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.
