Why Everyday Life Feels So Heavy (Even When Things Are “Fine”)

Описание: FREE Healing Guide: I created a gentle, beginner-friendly guide with the first steps that helped me start rebuilding my life. Download it here ➡️ www.jodylamb.com/guide

If life feels harder than it should — even when nothing is technically “wrong” — this video may help you understand why. In this episode, Jody explores the deeper reasons everyday life can feel exhausting, overwhelming, or heavy, especially for adult children of alcoholics and those who grew up in emotionally unpredictable environments.

You’ll learn how living in survival mode for too long affects your nervous system, energy levels, and sense of ease — and why simple things can feel disproportionately difficult in adulthood. More importantly, you’ll hear gentle, grounding insights to help you stop blaming yourself and begin meeting your exhaustion with compassion instead of judgment.

This is a reminder that life didn’t become hard because you’re doing it wrong — it feels hard because your body learned to stay alert for a long time. And with understanding, that weight can begin to lift.

🌿 Watch if you’re tired of:
– Feeling constantly overwhelmed or drained
– Wondering why “normal” life feels so difficult
– Pushing yourself while quietly burning out
