You’ve read the books. You’ve built the routines. You’ve tried the apps, the cold plunges, the morning practices. You “do the work.”

And yet… why does it still feel like you’re dragging a thousand-pound weight behind you?

Here’s the truth: you’re not broken — you’re bottling.

Because most women — especially my closet angry bitches — are taught to endure, not express. To swallow rage, sadness, grief, frustration, and mask it as “fine.”

But holding it in is the very thing keeping you stuck.

⚡️ The Root of Burnout That No One Talks About ⚡️

Most burnout cycles are fed by ONE thing:

Unspoken emotions.

The stuff that’s “not safe” to say. The truth you edit for your partner, your friends, your boss. The anger you won’t let out because you’re supposed to be grateful. The sadness you stuff down because you’re “strong.”

But suppressed emotion is stored energy. And when your nervous system is overrun with trapped, unexpressed emotion, burnout is inevitable.

THIS is what mindset hacks miss. THIS is why routines eventually collapse.

Burnout is an accumulation problem — not a productivity problem.

🔥 Expression = Healing 🔥

You don’t need to “fix” your feelings. You need to move them.

Because venting — honest, raw, unapologetic venting — isn’t “negative.”

Venting isn’t complaining. It’s clearing.

When done in a safe, sacred space, venting is:

  • Somatic release

  • Nervous system reset

  • Emotional alchemy

This is where true healing begins — when your body finally gets to tell the truth it’s been holding for years.

🚫 Common Mistakes That Keep You Trapped 🚫

1️⃣ You try to “think positive” when your body is screaming NO. 2️⃣ You think if you just get more organized, you won’t feel this way. 3️⃣ You dismiss your feelings as “not that bad” compared to others. 4️⃣ You confuse resilience with suppression.

💥 What Safe Expression Actually Looks Like 💥

✅ Saying exactly what’s on your heart, even when it’s messy.
✅ Letting yourself cry — without justifying it.
✅ Screaming into a pillow when that’s what your body needs.
✅ Letting words spill in a voice note to someone who can hold it — without shame.

This is the magic of Venting as Emotional Alchemy.

This is what I teach inside:

  • My workshops

  • My podcasts & blogs

  • And ESPECIALLY in this Sunday’s UNCLENCHED WORKSHOP 🔥

🧠 Why You Can’t “Think” Your Way Out of Burnout 🧠

Mindset is powerful — but if your body is holding decades of unexpressed stress, no affirmation will stick.

Your jaw stays clenched. Your chest stays tight. You wake up exhausted even after 8 hours of sleep.

Because until you clear the backlog of emotion… your nervous system can’t relax.

🔑Release the Tension You’re Carrying

If you’re here, reading this with a lump in your throat or a knot in your stomach…

That’s not weakness.
That’s held energy.
It’s your body’s way of saying: “I’m ready to let this go.”

Here’s your first permission slip:

👉 Close your eyes.
👉 Place a hand on your heart.
👉 Breathe in through your nose. Exhale out your mouth.
👉 Whisper:
“It’s safe to feel. I don’t have to hold this alone.”

If that breath landed? You’re ready.
