| 0:00.0 | After getting sober, many of us notice that we go harder on scrolling, being productive, or people-pleasing. |
| 0:08.9 | In this episode, I want to walk you through how these behaviors are actually serving the same purpose, where they come from, what they're doing in your brain, and why they can keep you feeling stuck even when it |
| 0:21.9 | looks like you're doing everything right. |
| 0:24.6 | Now that we actually feel our stress instead of numbing it, the evenings can hit a lot harder. |
| 0:30.7 | You know that tired but wired feeling where you want to rest but your brain just will not |
| 0:35.6 | slow down? |
| 0:36.8 | That's when I reach for Tenasi. Their CBD-CBDA |

| 1:33.3 | with the promo code power a lot of people that I work with think their problem is that they're too busy, too overwhelmed, |
| 1:53.3 | or just not managing their time very well. Some say that they feel like they need to be |
| 1:58.2 | productive all the time and they have too much to do, while others say that they feel like they need to be productive all the time and they have too much to do, |
