Summary

 Ever find yourself sitting on the couch at 9:30 PM - technically “resting” - but still feeling completely wired? It’s not a willpower problem. It’s your nervous system. In this episode, I break down what’s actually happening inside your body when stress never really gets to turn off. I explain the two modes your nervous system lives in, why modern life keeps so many of us mamas stuck in the wrong one, and why the thing you’re doing to wind down at night might actually be keeping you activated. Plus - why knitting isn’t just a cute hobby, but a real cue your body can use to finally soften. In this episode:
  • What your nervous system is actually doing when you feel “wired but tired”
  • Why 900 small stressors hit differently than one big one
  • What your phone is doing to your body at night (no shame, just science)
  • How knitting works as a pattern interrupt for your nervous system
  • What to start noticing in your own body this week
