Why You Feel Nothing | And What That Silence Inside You Is Actually Trying to Say

This week it is just Rachel.

No guest. No story from someone else's life. Just an honest conversation about something a lot of women are carrying around right now and not telling anyone.

Not I am sad. Not I am struggling. Just. Nothing. A kind of flatness that settles in so quietly and so gradually that by the time you notice it, you cannot remember when it started.

 

In this episode, Rachel talks about what emotional numbness actually feels like from the inside. Why it happens, and why it tends to happen to the women who have been coping the hardest for the longest. And what to do when you realise you have been going through the motions of your own life without actually being in it.

 

She also shares something personal from her own life. A moment in her late twenties when she had everything she had worked so hard for and still felt completely flat. And the unlikely conversation, in a McDonald's doorway at midnight, that made her finally admit it to herself.

 

If you have been telling yourself you are fine when something inside you knows that fine is not quite right, this one is for you.
