033 Noticing the Wear

What if you're not burned out… just worn?

In this episode, I introduce the first step of The Repair Practice: Wear—the subtle, often ignored signals that your energy is running low.

I share a real-life moment preparing for travel where I noticed the shift from capacity to depletion, and how learning to listen (instead of push through) changed everything.

We explore:

• The difference between burnout and wear

• Why "rest" doesn't always work—and what's missing

• The role of energy (not time or discipline)

• Mental, emotional, and social forms of rest

• A new way to think about yourself: not as something fragile, but as something mendable

If you've been feeling off, tired, or not quite like yourself—this episode will help you reframe what's really going on.

You're not broken. You're worn. And that's something you can work with.
