Why Women Struggle With Rest| Survival Mode Burnout

Описание: Strong women don’t struggle with rest because they don’t know how to slow down.

They struggle because their bodies never learned that rest is safe.

In this raw, sit-down video, I share why rest feels uncomfortable—even threatening—after years of being the strong one, the caregiver, the emotional anchor, and the person everyone relied on.


This isn’t about mindset.

This is about the nervous system.


I talk openly about:

Why strong women feel anxious when they try to rest

How caregiving rewires the nervous system

What survival mode actually looks like in the body

Why rest can trigger guilt, tension, and hyper-vigilance

The hidden cost of being “the dependable one”

How healing requires teaching your body safety—not forcing stillness



If you’ve ever sat down to rest but felt tight in your chest…

If slowing down makes you anxious instead of peaceful…

If you’ve been strong for so long that rest feels like losing your identity…



You’re not lazy.

You’re not broken.

You’re not doing healing wrong.



Your body learned survival before it learned safety—and unlearning that takes time.



This video is for caregivers, grief survivors, and women who were taught to endure instead of exhale. #strongblackwoman #struggle #relatable #rest #survivalmode
