Listen "Feeling Numb"
Episode Synopsis
Happy New Year! As we continue into the new year, I want to stay with something many of us quietly experience…a sense of numbness.Many of us feel like we’ve lost ourselves.We’ve worked hard, achieved a lot, and built lives that look successful on the outside… yet inside, something feels flat. Distant. Empty.Days blur together. Joy feels muted. Even the things that once excited us don’t quite land the same way. We go through the motions, wondering quietly, Is this it?If that resonates, this episode is for you.In this week's episode Feeling Numb, I share why numbness isn’t a failure, it’s often a sign that something essential in you is asking to be heard.We explore what actually brings you back to your true nature: your joy, creativity, courage, and sense of aliveness, beyond productivity, self-care trends, or external success.Timestamps:0:00 — Why this conversation matters: living honestly and fully1:06 — “I’ve lost myself”: when success still feels empty2:39 — The deeper questions beneath numbness3:34 — There is no fixed “real you” — finding aliveness instead5:39 — Why pleasure and luxury don’t bring lasting fulfillment6:22 — Aliveness isn’t always comfortable or easy9:28 — Finding your way back through values and desire16:10 — Numbness as the beginning of awakeningMentioned resources:5 Questions to Create Your Best Year, a simple but powerful framework to reconnect with your values and desires.
