Episode 45: What Happens When You Can’t Feel Your Own Energy?
Finding Your Way Back to the Place Where Life Flows Again

Have you ever felt like you’ve lost access to yourself?

Not because you’ve stopped caring. Not because you’ve lost your dreams. But because somewhere between trauma, grief, ADHD, caregiving, chronic stress, and simply being human, your energy became scattered.

In this deeply personal episode of The Adapted Life: Finding Next, Julie shares the honest reality of what it feels like when life becomes an “anxiety salad”—when every responsibility, fear, hope, and decision lands at once, leaving you frozen, overwhelmed, and wondering, “Where did I go?”

Together, we’ll explore the difference between survival energy and life-giving energy, how our nervous system can temporarily disconnect us from our creativity and intuition, and why healing may not be about becoming someone new—but about returning to the most connected version of ourselves.

Along the way, Julie shares a deeply personal poem, reflections on grief, the wisdom of the body, and a simple practice she calls finding your breadcrumbs—small, gentle moments that help us reconnect with who we truly are.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from your own spark, this episode is a compassionate reminder that you haven’t lost yourself.

You may have simply lost access.

And perhaps, one quiet breadcrumb at a time, you’ll find your way home again.
