Why You Can’t Turn Work Off

You’re done for the day.
But your body isn’t.

Even when work is technically over, part of you stays on.
Thinking about what you didn’t finish…
What you should’ve done…
What might come up next.

You’ve tried boundaries.
You’ve tried time blocking.
You’ve tried “just relaxing.”

If this were a discipline problem, you would’ve solved it by now.

The reason you can’t turn work off isn’t because you don’t know how to rest.

It’s because your nervous system learned that staying ON keeps you Safe.
Productive.
Valuable.

Until your body learns otherwise, work will always follow you home.

The Truth

What Changes

This short, private podcast series will help you understand:

• why rest feels uncomfortable or guilt-inducing
• why work feels tied to worth, even when you know better
• why forcing boundaries doesn’t work when you’re already exhausted
• what actually needs to change for evenings to feel like yours again

This isn’t about motivation.
Nor is it about productivity hacks

It’s about clarity, relief. A way back to you.

What This Is/Isn't

These podcast episodes won’t remove stress from your life.
Life is still gonna be lifing.

But it will help your body understand why it’s stuck in “ON” mode
and explain a different way forward.
