In this episode, we ask a deceptively simple question: Is what you’re consuming actually life-giving—or just numbing you out?

We unpack how horror, true crime, and 24/7 “news” hook an overstimulated nervous system, and what happens when you no longer want that charge. We explore shifting from auto-pilot consumption to intentional, nourishing input—from media to nature to the people and spaces you let into your field.

We also get honest about burnout, over-giving, and people pleasing: why so many of us give from emptiness, how that ties back to early survival strategies, and what it looks like to start receiving support without guilt. From there, we reframe purpose through the lens of the Gene Keys—not as a job title to figure out, but a daily way of being you can relax into rather than chase.

You’ll hear us explore:

• Numbing vs. nourishing consumption (and how to tell the difference in your body)
• Why your nervous system is the real authority on what’s “good” for you
• The hidden burnout of over-giving and constant productivity
• Receiving, rest, and asking for what you need as spiritual practice
• Using the Gene Keys as a kinder, more truthful map of purpose
• 
  

We close by naming business as a powerful spiritual path and hint at our upcoming Magnetic Creator mastermind for women who want to build from presence, purpose, and real capacity—not performance.
