Have you ever stopped to ask yourself if you're really overwhelmed... or simply exhausted?
In this week's episode of the Maybe I Can Podcast, I'm talking about something I think so many of us have accepted as "normal"—living in a constant state of exhaustion.
For years, I told myself I was just busy. As a caregiver, business owner, wife, and mom, I kept pushing through until one Mother's Day, everything I'd been carrying came pouring out. Looking back, I realized it wasn't the holiday that broke me—it was years of emotional, mental, and physical depletion.
In this episode, I share that story, the hidden stages of exhaustion, and why so many of us feel guilty about something as simple as resting.
We'll talk about:
✨ The four stages of hidden exhaustion
✨ Emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual fatigue
✨ Why we struggle to give ourselves permission to rest
✨ How to tell the difference between resistance and true exhaustion
✨ Small ways to restore your energy before you hit a breaking point
If you've been telling yourself, "I'll rest later," this episode is for you.
Maybe the most productive thing you can do today... is rest.
