Send us a text

Ever find yourself thinking, “They should know better” or *“I shouldn’t still be dealing with this”?
That’s not just frustration — that’s your manual talking.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the invisible rulebooks we carry for other people and ourselves — and how those silent expectations are draining your energy, stressing your body, and keeping you stuck in survival mode.

You’ll learn:

• What a manual is (and how to spot one)
• How your nervous system reacts when others don’t follow your rules
• Why your self-manual is often the most exhausting of all
• What to do instead to feel free, grounded, and like yourself again

If you’ve ever thought:

• “Why am I so tired all the time?”
• “I shouldn’t need this much rest.”
• “Why can’t they just understand what I need?”

This episode will feel like a deep exhale.
