I wasn’t productive.
I was hypervigilant.
On today’s Tea & Toast Live, we talked about something so many women are praised for and quietly suffering through.
Hypervigilance.
That constant state of being “on.”
Scanning. Anticipating. Managing. Fixing. Preparing.
Society calls it:
• being responsible
• being strong
• being high-functioning
• being productive
But your body knows the truth.
Hypervigilance is a nervous system that never learned it was safe to stand down.
And when we confuse survival with success, rest starts to feel like danger instead of medicine.
Drop a ☕️ if this hit home.
Watch this replay if your nervous system needs gentleness today.
You don’t need more discipline. You need more safety.
