Episode notes

Some people don’t struggle with rest because they lack discipline. They struggle because vigilance became normal. This episode explores hyper-productivity, emotional regulation through movement, and the fear of standing down psychologically. A deeply reflective conversation about exhaustion, control, and why stillness can feel unfamiliar to survival-minded people.
