#191: Pleasure, Rest, & Feeling Good in a Culture of Chronic Stress

On Attachment

In this episode, we're exploring why so many of us struggle to access pleasure, rest, and a felt sense of wellbeing — especially in a culture that glorifies productivity, self-sacrifice, and chronic stress.

If you've ever felt like slowing down or doing something just because it feels good triggers guilt, anxiety, or even restlessness… you're not alone.

We'll look at:

• How chronic stress and hypervigilance disrupt our ability to feel good
• Why pleasure and rest often feel unsafe or unearned
• The role of the nervous system in receiving nourishment and joy
• How burnout and self-worth issues intersect
• Small, everyday ways to start rebuilding your capacity for pleasure and ease

This episode is a gentle invitation to notice the forces that have pulled you away from yourself — and to begin reclaiming the parts of you that long to feel good.
