Podcast Ep 16 Mental Energy

Most of us think exhaustion comes from doing too much — but what if it’s coming from thinking too much?

In this episode, we explore mental energy: how small, constant decisions quietly drain us, why switching tasks is so tiring, and how everyday life keeps us in a state of low-level overload.

Through relatable stories and simple analogies, we look at why your brain feels fried even when you haven’t “done much,” and how awareness alone can start freeing up energy you didn’t know you were losing.
