We’ve built a life that rewards stress…and then wonder why we can’t relax inside of it.You finally sit down at the end of the day—the kids are in bed, the house is quiet—and instead of exhaling… your brain speeds up.Sound familiar?In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Gina Simmons Schneider—licensed psychotherapist, executive coach, and author of Frazzlebrain—to talk about what’s really happening in your brain when you feel constantly on edge.Get. DR. GINA'S BOOK FRAZZLEBRAIN: BREAK FREE OF ANXIETY, ANGER & STRESSAfter taking her “How Frazzlebrained Are You?” quiz and scoring a 7 out of 10 (😅), this conversation hit home in a very real way.We explore the concept of frazzlebrain—a mix of stress, pressure, irritability, and fatigue—and why so many of us are living in a constant state of low-grade overwhelm without even realizing it. But more importantly… we talk about what’s missing.Not more productivity.Not better time management.Recovery.Because your body was never designed to stay in “go mode” all day without a way to come back down. Inside this conversation, we cover:What “frazzlebrain” actually is and how it shows up in everyday lifeWhy your brain won’t shut off—even when your day is doneThe hidden impact of constant stimulation, screens, and “go-go-go” culture Why slowing down can feel uncomfortable (and what that means for your nervous system)Simple, science-backed ways to calm your brain and body in real timeHow your emotional state shapes how you experience other people and the world This episode is your reminder that you’re not bad at relaxing…your brain just hasn’t been given the space—or the tools—to feel safe enough to do it.And the good news?That’s something you can learn.🎧Yoto Player | Screen Free Fun for KidsThe audio player that makes screen free time easier.
