148. The Secret Rulebook That’s Draining Your Energy
•
Shelby Hansen
Ever find yourself thinking, “They should know better” or *“I shouldn’t still be dealing with this”?
That’s not just frustration — that’s your manual talking.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the invisible rulebooks we carry for other people and ourselves — and how those silent expectations are draining your energy, stressing your body, and keeping you stuck in survival mode.
You’ll learn:
- What a manual is (and how to spot one)
- How your nervous system reacts when others don’t follow your rules
- Why your self-manual is often the most exhausting of all
- What to do instead to feel free, grounded, and like yourself again
If you’ve ever thought:
- “Why am I so tired all the time?”
- “I shouldn’t need this much rest.”
- “Why can’t they just understand what I need?”
This episode will feel like a deep exhale.
