Ever feel like you’re just existing, not really living?
Maybe you've caught yourself thinking, “I don’t feel anything” or “I’m just going through the motions.” If so, you’re not alone.

Emotional numbness is more common than you think. It can show up in busy parents juggling nonstop responsibilities, young professionals facing burnout, or students just trying to survive the pressure of everyday life. It’s that disconnect when joy, sadness—even anger—seems distant or missing.

In this episode, we’ll explore why emotional numbness happens, how it quietly affects your daily life, and what small steps you can take to start feeling like you again.

When the world finally quiets down at night, that’s when your mind tends to get loud. For many teens and young adults, nighttime is when overthinking hits the hardest. Instead of resting, your brain replays conversations, worries, and “what ifs” on loop—keeping you awake and emotionally drained.

If you’re tired of feeling this way, you’re not alone—and there are simple, doable steps you can take to manage it. In this article, we’ll go through practical strategies that can help calm your thoughts, support better sleep, and improve your mental wellness.

This podcast is your companion in overcoming strong emotions—big or small—that keep you stuck. The truth is, we often expect too much from ourselves, and when we can’t keep up, frustration and sadness can take over. But you don’t have to stay there. Whatever it is you’re facing, remind yourself, “Hey, I’ve had enough. It’s time to move forward.”
