Episode Synopsis
Come Home to Yourself: Boundaries, Burnout, and the Rhythm of Return
The Deeper Thinking Podcast
What does it mean to return to yourself—not as a goal, but as a rhythm? This episode is a translation of an inner voice: the one that waits beneath survival, beyond performance, under the noise. It doesn’t instruct. It doesn’t explain. It listens. And when we listen back, something begins to soften.
Drawing on the emotional textures of slow growth, quiet resistance, and relational repair, we explore how healing isn’t a triumph but a return. We question clarity as a requirement, challenge motivation as a moral standard, and examine how joy, pain, and presence can coexist without apology.
With echoes of Brené Brown, Sara Ahmed, and Pádraig Ó Tuama, this episode isn’t here to tell you what to feel. It’s here to keep you company while you feel it. No fixing. No striving. Just a steady invitation back to the truth beneath it all.
Why Listen?
For a companionable, poetic audio essay that moves at the speed of breath
To explore how boundaries, belonging, and burnout intertwine with care
To learn how to live from softness without collapsing
To feel reminded—not instructed—of what’s already true in you

Bibliography Relevance
Sara Ahmed: Explores the politics and ethics of emotion, embodiment, and care, anchoring the episode’s refusal of emotional instruction.
Gloria Anzaldúa: Offers a framework for inner multiplicity and border-being, underscoring the porousness of personal return.
Simone Weil: Centers attention as an act of love, framing presence and listening as sacred disciplines rather than performative acts.
Not all healing requires movement. Some asks you to stay—gently, faithfully—with yourself.
