Summary

This week, we’re talking about hitting a mental wall—when your brain feels like it has 67 tabs open and half of them are buffering. You’re doing the things: sleeping, hydrating, showing up... and still, you're exhausted, foggy, and stuck in thought loops that won’t quit. I’ve been there too. In this episode, I share real strategies that help me when my brain taps out, from interrupting the spiral to brain-dumping everything on a piece of paper (yes, everything). We’ll unpack why your brain isn’t broken—it’s just overloaded—and how to reset, refill, and reframe. Ask yourself: What’s one thought loop I need to break this week? And what’s one small action I can take to reset my mental state? Let’s get honest and get our minds back.Join The Clarity Challenge: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6YSlWk3sWVpgdDvvMh0ufQpYrSfoRShx

in their mind, mentally, which is nearly half half have taken off for a mental health reason.

Nearly half of all workers in the United States have taken off for a mental health break.

And then if you're a woman, this is good news and maybe a little sad too.

But it says that women are more likely to have mental exhaustion,

more than men. In 2022, they did a study where 20% of women ages 18 to 44 were feeling tired

or exhausted mentally most days while only 11% of men were facing that. Now, I don't know
