017. Numb to Alive: Reconnecting with Desire when you've forgotten what you want
Season 1 Episode 17
Have you ever been asked, “What do you really want?”, and felt your whole body freeze? This episode is for the woman who’s achieved, supported, and held it all together ... yet quietly feels disconnected from her own spark.
In this raw and real conversation, Tina shares her personal journey of wearing numbness like a badge of honour—of being the calm, capable one while secretly wondering why nothing feels exciting anymore. Together we explore:
- Why numbness isn’t failure - it’s feedback from your body
- How we mistake emotional shutdown for strength
- The protective parts (IFS lens) that keep us “safe” but stuck
- The nervous system truth about the freeze response - and how to thaw
- What desire really is (beyond goals or passion) and how to reconnect with it
- Simple, tangible ways to start feeling again, one micro-desire at a time
This isn’t about chasing purpose or forcing clarity. It’s about remembering what it feels like to be alive ... messy, honest, fully human.
