213. Post-Vacation Depression: What It’s Really Trying to Tell You

Ever feel a wave of sadness or frustration after coming back from vacation, even though nothing has technically gone wrong? In today’s episode, we’re talking about why post-vacation depression shows up, what it’s trying to tell you, and how to respond in a way that supports your mental health instead of pushing through and going back to autopilot.

We’ll explore:

• What the post-vacation blues are really about (it’s not just burnout)
• How we unconsciously gaslight our own desires
• The connection between dissatisfaction and legitimacy, and why most women don’t feel allowed to want more
• What shifts when you start treating your dreams like they matter
• Why pursuing a goal you’re passionate about (even if it feels “impossible”) might be exactly what brings your life back online

If you’ve been stuck in a loop of all-or-nothing thinking, waiting for “one day,” or feeling guilty for wanting more… this episode will help you hear what your desire is saying, and start honoring it, without apology.
