This episode unpacks everything you need to know about functional freeze, or what happens when women keep performing at a high level while feeling depleted, numb, or disconnected internally. Kristen looks at why this happens, why it can feel so confusing, and why “just resting” or "trying harder" doesn't fix it.
Some takeaways:
Why functional freeze is a pattern rather than a diagnosis
How under pressure the body prioritizes what you need to do over what you need to feel
What happens when you postpone physical and emotional red flags
What the difference between functional freeze and burnout is
How the nervous system is trained to deprioritize your needs
A mindfulness exercise for reconnecting with yourself
