What if You're Not Broken - Just Tired?

01 Dec 2025

Description

If you’ve caught yourself thinking, “What’s wrong with me? Why am I so tired?” as December begins, you’re not alone. In this episode, Blaze talks honestly about holiday burnout, year-end exhaustion, and the very human urge to push through our limits instead of listening to our bodies. We explore how the pressure to “finish strong,” meet end-of-year goals, show up for every holiday event, and take care of everyone else can leave you feeling broken, behind, and strangely guilty for wanting rest. Blaze gently unpacks why you’re so tired—not because you’re failing, but because you’ve been giving so much of yourself for so long. Together, we’ll look at how cumulative stress, people-pleasing, and perfectionism keep you stuck in overdrive, and how to begin shifting toward self-compassion, realistic expectations, and tiny acts of restorative self-care. You’ll be invited to zoom out and see your life in seasons, to question the urge to push past your breaking point, and to recognize the quiet truth: you’ve already carried so much. This week’s reflection is a love letter to your effort and a reminder that needing rest doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you’re human.
