There is a particular kind of exhaustion that comes from trying to work, parent, stay connected, keep up with everything coming through your phone, and somehow remain a regulated human through all of it.
Dr. Jody Carrington joined me for one of the rawest conversations I’ve had on Energy + Hours about burnout, nervous-system regulation, motherhood, social media, comparison, and our very human need for other people.
Jody is a clinical psychologist, bestselling author and speaker who studies human connection. Her perspective on burnout starts with something many productivity conversations miss: our bodies haven’t evolved at the same speed as the world around us.
We talk about the amount of information our nervous systems are processing, the pressure women carry to do everything well, and why asking for help can feel so difficult even when we desperately need it.
In this episode:
⏳ How social media comparison contributes to shame, loneliness and overwhelm
⏳ The connection between burnout, emotional regulation and nervous-system overload
⏳ Why working mothers are carrying a particularly complicated set of expectations
⏳ What Jody means by “microdosing emotional regulation”
⏳ How community and co-regulation help us handle stress
⏳ Why resentment and irritability can signal that you need a reset
⏳ What asking for help has to do with sustainable productivity
⏳ Small ways to reconnect with yourself during a demanding day
