Episode 132: Getting Out the House (Literally)

Listen on

Episode notes

Today’s episode is recorded right from my doorstep, inspired by two community members who asked about how to handle the challenge of getting out of the house. Instead of creating a structured "how-to," I decided to keep it simple, real, and personal.

In this episode, I talk about:
• Why the popular meme about only spending time with people who "don’t drain your soul" doesn’t resonate with me.
• My own experiences dealing with PTSD, family illness, and burnout—and how these significantly impacted my friendships and ability to socialize.
• Why scheduling and managing my energy is essential, even if admitting that feels pretty uncool.
• How different social situations (one-on-one versus groups) uniquely affect my energy.
• Recognizing when staying home is genuine self-care versus when it’s avoidance or resistance.
• The importance of gently challenging my nervous system by regularly interacting with the world outside my home.

Quick thoughts:
• It’s totally normal (and okay!) to need to schedule your energy and activities.
• Who you choose to spend time with matters deeply and affects your overall energy and emotional health.
• Stepping out of your comfort zone—literally getting outside—is essential for maintaining a healthy, adaptable nervous system.
