The tight jaw, the shoulders up near your ears, the grinding you only hear about from someone else. Most high-functioning women have lived with these so long they've stopped registering them at all.

It isn't that the signals stopped. We just got very good at overriding them. Most of us were taught young to push through and not make a fuss, to talk over what the body was saying long before we had words for it. After enough years, the cues go quiet. Not gone, just unheard.

What changes things is surprisingly small. Once you notice the tension, it becomes something you can use. A signal to stand up and walk. A sign that's enough work for today. The body starts offering information again, and you start trusting it enough to act on it.

It begins with learning to read your own nervous system, the one that's uniquely yours.

Send it to someone who'd check her shoulders halfway through reading this.

Lying awake exhausted, or finally getting to sleep only to wake again hours later, is one of the most common things women describe to me. It rarely traces back to the night itself.

And it's seldom just one thing. Peri/menopause can play a part, and so can how the evening winds down. But a body that's carried tension all day, still on alert without quite realising it, makes sleep harder to find and harder to keep.

Back when I ran my own wellbeing studio, the women in my yin and restorative sessions would tell me the same thing. On the days they came in, they slept better. Gently noticing where you hold tension, and softening it where you have the capacity, tends to cue the body out of go mode and into rest. For them it made a real difference to how they slept.

The evening eating is rarely about the evening at all. It usually traces back to a day that didn't carry enough fuel.

Once the earlier part of the day is sorted, the evenings tend to look after themselves.

There’s no doubt high-functioning women can endure more than we think. The part no one asks is what it’s quietly costing us.

The tiredness sleep doesn’t fix. The gut that’s never settled. The mind that won’t slow down when you finally do. Each one gets its own explanation. But they tend to travel together, a nervous system switched on so long it’s forgotten how to come back down.

My free 2 minute quiz audits the five quiet places this energy leaks, and where to begin. Nervous system first, so it holds.

Comment ENERGY and I’ll send it over. Save it, and send it to whoever came to mind.

I used to think being the reliable one, the person who holds it all together and gets it done, was just who I am.

Years of running that way adds up, though, even when you can't feel it happening. I found that out when I took long service leave to focus on building up my wellbeing studio. The moment I actually stopped, I couldn't. I could barely get out of bed. The fog was thick enough that I would sit at the computer with nothing coming. For weeks, rest was the only thing my body would let me do.

When a body has been switched on for years, it may lose its sense of how to power down. The signs tend to show up long before the body forces a stop.

If any of this feels familiar, you might want to keep it somewhere. And if someone came to mind while you read, she may see herself in it too.

Everyone tells you to rest.

Fewer people tell you that when you actually stop, it can feel terrible.

The stillness doesn't land as relief. It feels like something's wrong, so you get back up.

But that discomfort isn't a sign you don't need rest. It might be the clearest sign you do. When a body's been on go for years, stillness reads as unfamiliar, and unfamiliar can read as unsafe.

It eases. Slowly, as your nervous system collects new evidence that nothing bad happens when you pause.

So if rest has never felt like the soft landing it's sold as, you're not doing it wrong. Let it be slow. Your body's allowed to take its time learning it's safe to stop.

You're wired at night but flat by the afternoon. Snapping at the people you love. Not hungry all day, then can't stop once the house goes quiet.

You've filed each one under "just me." But they might not be separate problems. It might be one nervous system that never got the signal it's safe to switch off.

Send this to the friend who'd recognise herself. 💚

If this is you, you're in the right place.

Here's what nutrition actually looks like when you stop trying to make it complicated.

1️⃣ Frozen vegetables are elite.

Peas, broccoli and edamame live in my freezer because they make meals quicker, easier and more nourishing.

2️⃣ Canned chickpeas and beans count.

Would I love to soak beans from scratch? Sure. Do I have time? Absolutely not. Convenience can still be deeply nourishing.

3️⃣ Pre-made salads are underrated.

Less than 5% of Australians eat the recommended serves of fruit and vegetables. If a bagged salad helps close that gap, I'm all for it.

4️⃣ Keep breakfast simple.

Greek yoghurt with frozen berries. Chia pudding made the night before. Two-minute options stick. Elaborate ones don't.

5️⃣ A rotisserie chicken does the heavy lifting.

Solid protein, genuinely tasty, and there's usually enough for lunch tomorrow on that pre-made salad.

Nutrition should support the life you actually have. Not be another thing you're pretending to keep up with.

Follow for realistic nutrition support for high-functioning women.
