If life has finally calmed down but you still don’t feel like yourself, this episode is going to land deep. There is a moment that no one prepares you for the quiet after the chaos where everything looks better, safer, and more stable… but internally, you feel numb, disconnected, or strangely “off.”

This episode is about that in-between place.
The space where you’re no longer surviving, yet not fully living.
Where your head says everything is fine, but your heart hasn’t caught up yet.
Where you’re functioning, showing up, smiling… but something inside still feels shut down.

In this raw conversation, we explore:

  • what emotional numbness really means

  • why you can be in a better situation but not feel better inside

  • the pressure to “heal perfectly” and why it holds you back

  • the fear of slowing down enough to feel again

  • how the body stays in survival mode long after the mind moves on

  • the confusion of not knowing whether you’re healing… or just disconnected

  • the small signs that you are healing even when you don’t recognise them

  • the guilt of feeling lost when people expect you to be “better now”

  • the moment we both realised we weren’t healing we were simply coping

  • the truth about aligning your head and your heart

  • why healing is a process of returning to yourself, slowly and imperfectly

We talk about authenticity, numbness, setbacks, identity, nervous system shutdown, finding hope in unexpected moments, and redefining what progress really looks like.

This is an episode for anyone who has ever thought:

  • “Why don’t I feel better yet?”

  • “Why am I not myself anymore?”

  • “Why am I still struggling when nothing is wrong?”

  • “Is this numbness normal?”

  • “Am I healing… or avoiding?”

If you’re in a season where you’re trying, showing up, holding it together, rebuilding piece by piece you will feel deeply understood here.

Press play. You’re healing more than you realise, and this conversation will help you see the parts of yourself you may have forgotten.
