146: Soften the Sunday Scaries

Do you feel that familiar dread or restlessness in your body as the weekend winds down? You’re NOT alone! In this episode, we explore the Sunday Scaries through the lens of the nervous system, naming the hidden pressure so many women and moms carry into the week.

We’ll break down why this anticipatory anxiety happens, how it can activate survival responses and what your body is trying to tell you.

Then, I’ll guide you through a grounding visualization called The Sunday Sanctuary, a practice you can return to any time to feel more regulated, resourced, and ready for the week.

In this episode:

• What the Sunday Scaries actually are and why they show up
• How your nervous system reacts to the anticipation of the week ahead
• A new way to meet the pressure...with gentleness and self-trust
• A 7-minute visualization to help you reconnect with your values and feel ready to begin again
