In this episode, Kate sits down with nurse coach Amyee to talk about emotional numbness, why so many women feel disconnected from themselves, and what’s really happening in the body after years of stress, trauma, and dysregulation. They explore the idea of numbness as a “black hole”—something many women avoid through coping behaviors like drinking, scrolling, shopping, overeating, and overworking. But what if those behaviors aren’t failures… and are actually attempts to regulate an overwhelmed nervous system? This conversation breaks down: why numbness happens how the nervous system drives coping behaviors the difference between mindset work and somatic work why proper training matters in somatic coaching and how to start reconnecting with your body in practical, real-life ways If you’ve ever felt checked out, flat, or like you’re just going through the motions—this episode will help you understand why… and what to do next.
