Podcasts about Numb

You're not out of options. You're out of excuses to stay the same. Default living is quiet. No crisis. No rock bottom. Just years of slipping by on autopilot while you tell yourself you're fine. You're not falling apart. You're just on repeat. Same reactions. Same patterns. Same version of yourself, day after day, because it's easier than deciding who you actually want to be. Here's the good news: you can choose to not live like that. In this episode of Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™, J.R. sits down with Joshua Lifrak, mental performance expert and author of the new book, WIN TODAY. Josh spent two decades in the highest-pressure rooms in professional sports, including serving as Director of Mental Skills for the Chicago Cubs during their 2016 World Series run (the one that ended a 108-year championship drought). He's brought that same framework to boardrooms and executive teams ever since. This is a raw, practical conversation about the difference between staying calm and checking out completely. In this episode, you'll hear: Why "neutral thinking" beats both suppressing your emotions and shutting them down completely The exact difference between being neutral and being numb (and how to tell which one you're actually in) How to respond to your kids (or anyone) from your value system instead of your emotions in the heat of the moment Why "default living" quietly sabotages high-achievers who look successful on the outside The "shot clock" method for processing anger or frustration without letting it control your next move How Mile Zero can reset any area of your life that feels like it's too far gone to fix KEY QUOTES "Numb is, 'I don't care if this works or not.'" Neutral is, 'I'm committing to making this work.'" - Josh Lifrak "The past is not predictive of the future. What you think and do in the here and now is." - Josh Lifrak "We're human beings. We have a choice of who we want to be every single day." - Josh Lifrak CONNECT WITH JOSHUA Linkedin: /in/joshualifrak Instagram: @joshualifrak X: @lifrakattack  Website: https://www.joshualifrak.com/ NEXT STEPS Listen to the full episode: https://jamesreid.com/lifrak-josh-cuc Want to bring your best home more consistently?

Episode 320: Why Do I Feel So Numb After Child Loss? You braced yourself for grief to mean feeling everything — the crying, the falling apart, the days you couldn't stand up under it. Then came the day someone said your child's name and the tears didn't come. And you started to wonder what is wrong with you. You'll hear: Numbness does not measure the depth of your love for your child The absence of feeling is not the absence of God You don't have to fake what you feel — just tell God the truth If the tears won't come and you've started to question whether you're grieving the right way, this conversation is for you. Free 30-Minute Teaching: Why Am I Still Stuck? Maybe numb isn't your word. Maybe you'd say you're functioning — showing up, doing what has to be done — and somewhere along the way survival quietly became a way of life. This free teaching walks you through how to recognize whether you're still living in survival mode after child loss, and what may be keeping you there that you can't see yet.

Today is how to FEEL like yourself again, and better, because you can get the body and still not feel like you. I start with the sentence I hear on every call: "I just don't feel like myself." Then the three ways it actually shows up. Feeling flat with no spark, even when life looks good on paper. Tired but wired, snapping over nothing, awake at 3 AM. And numb, living in your head, disconnected from your own body. Then the solutions. Breath and long exhales, heart coherence at about six breaths a minute, and what your HRV and resting heart rate are really telling you. The labs I want you to look at, including a four point cortisol test and blood work through Function Health. And the deepest one, the future self activation I do every morning, plus the alignment questions that decide whether any of it sticks. If you want to do this work with me, The Spark is open. One on one, three months, activations plus labs, nutrition, protocols and peptides.

In this episode, Amanda tells the story of a cancelled flight, three kids, a dog, and three extra days away from home, and the strangely flat, checked-out response she had to it. Instead of treating that numbness as a problem, she breaks down why it was her nervous system doing exactly its job. Along the way, she offers a new way to actually measure healing (hint: it's not whether you still get anxious), a guardrail against turning nervous system work into one more thing to grade yourself on, and a look at what quietly builds the kind of capacity that was working in the background long before she needed it.3 Takeaways:Regulation doesn't mean not reacting. A healthy nervous system still moves into activation, frustration, or even mild shutdown under stress. The goal is flexibility, not permanent calm.Measure healing by distance and speed, not by absence. Instead of asking whether you still get anxious or still shut down, ask how far you go, how long you stay there, and how quickly you find your way back.Capacity is built quietly, long before you need it. The unglamorous, consistent inputs, regulation, movement, sleep, nourishment, and connection, are what determine how you land on your hardest days.CLICK HERE for the full show notes, resources, and 3 tangible takeaways!---Looking for more support?RESTORE, Our 16-week 1:1 coaching programRegulated Living MembershipRegulated Health functional lab testingOrder my book: Healing Through the Vagus Nerve*Want me to talk about something specific on the podcast?

Pins and Needles Anxiety — A 10-Minute Meditation for Tingling Hands and Panic You're sitting perfectly still and your hand doesn't feel like your own hand. That prickling in your fingers, a strange half-numb feeling in the palm — so you test it, open and close your fingers, hold your hand up and look at it, and the more you look, the stranger it feels. If you've been searching for pins and needles anxiety, or wondering about tingling hands anxiety, this guided meditation is for that exact moment. For a place to return to when the sensation comes back, download Anchored, Calming Anxiety's free companion app — there's no symptom list inside, nothing to look up, just a voice for ten minutes and somewhere quiet to put yourself.Get it on the App Store at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 or on Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martinhewlett.anchored. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, this episode uses "walking the breath" — three steps in, four steps out, or gentle finger-taps if you're seated — to ground the body, then moves into affirmation work that reframes pins and needles as a sensation rather than a verdict on what's wrong with you. ⏱️ Time Chapters* 00:00 – When Your Hand Doesn't Feel Like Your Own* 00:42 – Welcome & Anchored* 01:22 – Why Pins and Needles Happen* 01:43 – Breathing: Walking the Breath (3 In, 4 Out)* 04:16 – A Word From the Ambulance Days* 05:14 – Warmth Spreading to Your Fingertips* 05:50 – Affirmations for Tingling Hands* 07:28 – Settling Deeper* 08:38 – Three Daily Caring Tips* 09:38 – Coming Back Gently* 10:11 – A Note From Martin 

Have you ever felt like you just don't feel anything at all? Not exactly sad, but not happy either. Something good happens and you think, well, that's nice. Something bad happens and you think, okay. And you move through your days feeling sort of flat. That's emotional numbness. And while it might seem like a good thing to numb yourself to discomfort, there are some downsides to it too. Some of the things I talk about are: The winter I couldn't even feel the cold—and how the feeling came back so slowly I almost missed it. The four different kinds of numb, and why the right response depends on which one you're in. Why you can't selectively numb the hard feelings without dimming joy and excitement along with them. The reason feeling numb leaves so many people exhausted—even though it seems like they're not doing anything at all. Why the feelings you push down don't disappear—and how they resurface two years later in the grocery store. Why coming back to life isn't a dam bursting, but a dimmer switch your brain controls on purpose. Why chasing a big emotion (the sad movie, the old photos) often backfires and the small thing to reach for instead. The "flicker" to watch for, and why motivation follows action here, not the other way around.

When Was the Last Time You Felt Happy? — A 10-Minute Meditation for Feeling Flat, Numb or Emotionally Stuck Somebody asked how you were, and you said fine, and you meant it — nothing is wrong. But later, standing at the sink, a harder question arrives on its own: when was the last time you felt properly happy? Not fine, not coping, not relieved something was over. Really happy. If you went looking for the answer and couldn't find it, this guided meditation is for that feeling of being flat, numb or quietly stuck, even when nothing in your life seems to justify it. For a place to return to, including a simple daily check-in, download Anchored, Calming Anxiety's companion app.Get it on the App Store at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 or on Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martinhewlett.anchored. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, this episode uses the physiological sigh (a double inhale followed by one long exhale) to work with the body directly, then moves into affirmation work that reframes feeling flat as information rather than a verdict — and gives you permission to want more than simply feeling fine. ⏱️ Time Chapters* 00:00 – "Nothing Is Wrong"* 01:02 – Welcome & the Daily Check-In* 01:38 – Breathing: The Physiological Sigh* 03:51 – A Quiet Word* 04:22 – What You're Allowed to Feel* 05:22 – Affirmations for Feeling Flat* 08:05 – Three Daily Caring Tips* 09:00 – Coming Back Gently* 09:38 – A Note From Martin

A suicide bomber walked into a crowded local event in rural Afghanistan, and Harry Moffitt's small medical team spent the day treating the dead and dying. By the afternoon his unit sat in near silence, exhausted and numb. Moffitt, who spent close to three decades in Australia's Special Air Service, reached for the one thing he carried on every deployment for exactly this reason. What happened next, in the middle of one of the worst days of his career, became one of the most effective group resets his unit ever experienced, and he says he has never seen anything else do the same job.

Send me a messageMost of us spend our lives replaying the painful parts and calling it realism. That habit is a large part of why so many of us feel numb — and this is how the feeling comes back.Four of my books, free — link below.A photographer can walk into a junkyard and come out with something people pay real money to hang on a wall. A photograph of a broken-down car. The beauty was already there. The eye was the thing that had to be trained. We can all train that eye.Most of us live in our worries, our fears, our stress, our traumatic past. It is equally natural and equally true to spend that time on the good memories, the pleasures, the people we are grateful for. The word ignorance is the right one, because we are ignoring more than half of what is happening.There is no wisdom in overthinking what already happened or what might. There is only wisdom in what we do with this moment.Numbness isn't the absence of sensation. It's the loss of the ability to notice subtlety. When we stop feeling the small things, we start needing the extreme ones — and that is where craving, adrenaline and addiction begin.We are present for the first bite of a meal, maybe the second, and then we stop tasting. The same is true of a sunset, a cup of tea, a conversation. When we stay with the whole experience instead of a slice of it, we stop needing more of it. That is what equanimity means — a steady peace that doesn't depend on which sensation shows up next.And when we hold a magnifying glass over our worries and never over our blessings, our view of our own life becomes distorted. We end up making negative propaganda about ourselves.We are the camera. What we point it at is a choice, and it can be changed at any moment.CHAPTERS0:00 The photographer in the junkyard0:22 Why we live in the painful part0:58 The other half we never visit2:05 Ignorance means ignoring2:55 We lose presence to pleasure too4:05 What numbness actually is4:33 Why we start needing the extreme5:00 Savoring every bite6:36 The magnifying glass8:56 We are the camera operator9:40 Negative propaganda about ourselves10:37 In pain there is pleasure11:19 Nothing outside us holds the meaning13:18 Equanimity, the steady kind of happiness15:13 Why unhappiness spikes with inequality18:28 What kind of movie do you want to live inPlease enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

In each episode, we're unpacking the 5 nervous system states, uncovering why you're in each state, exploring the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours associated with each state, and educating you on the separation between your personality and your nervous system. Today we're diving into dorsal shutdown.

Artificial intelligence can answer theological questions, draft sermons, automate difficult work, and increasingly imitate human conversation. But can it form a Christian, embody the love of Christ, or replace the church?Tim sits down with Mark Junkans—author of *The Return of Mystery: Faith in the Age of Machines*—to examine the deeper spiritual questions surrounding AI. They discuss transhumanism, the dream of a “digital god,” AI-generated faith, the loss of critical thinking, and why instant access to information is not the same thing as spiritual formation.Learn more about Mark's work with Cross Connect at https://www.crosscm.org/Mark's Bookhttps://www.amazon.com/Return-Mystery-Faith-Age-Machines/dp/B0GD7NDY6ZLike, subscribe, and share this conversation with someone thinking seriously about faith in the age of artificial intelligence.Support the showWatch Us On Youtube! Stay up to date by Joining the LCMS Current!(LCMS Current Events Newsletter)https://www.uniteleadership.org/thelcmscurrent

Trauma doesn't always look the way people expect. Sometimes it shows up as anxiety, depression, emotional numbness or unhealthy coping strategies instead. In the Episode, Dr Marianne Trent explores why we avoid emotional pain, how trauma affects the brain, and why therapies such as EMDR can help you reconnect with yourself and move towards healing. #Trauma #EMDR #MentalHealth

Panic Attack Relief — Calm the Numb, Shaky Aftermath | 10 Minute Guided Meditation for Anxiety Panic attack relief for the moment nobody talks about — the aftermath. The attack itself has passed, but the body still feels numb, the hands are tingling, the legs are unsteady, and the mind is already asking the frightening question: will I ever get over these? This ten minute guided meditation is for exactly that moment. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, this session uses slow out-breath focus and a gentle winter's-morning visualisation — watching your breath leave as small white clouds, then watching the grey mist of fear and dark thoughts drift away on the breeze — to settle a nervous system that is still running hot. There is no need to fight the feeling. You simply breathe, and let the panic evaporate from the surface of the skin. Whether you are looking for panic attack help, anxiety relief, breathwork for a racing heart, or a daily guided meditation to steady you before sleep, take these ten minutes now and regain control, composure and calm. ⏱️ Time Chapters * 00:00 – The moment after a panic attack — numb body, tingling hands* 00:22 – Welcome, and why this one is personal* 00:44 – Diary note: Anchored launches Thursday the 13th* 01:07 – Settling in — the almost hypnotic rhythm of the breath* 01:50 – The pause between breaths, and letting the panic evaporate* 02:59 – Deepening — muscle fibres loosening, sinking down, safe and secure* 03:34 – Visualisation: seeing your breath on a cold winter's morning* 03:51 – Breathing out the dark grey mist of fear and anxiety* 04:47 – Preparing for today's affirmations* 05:28 – Affirmations, first pass* 06:54 – Affirmations, second pass* 08:13 – Three daily caring tips* 09:05 – Gently returning — fingers, toes, a stretch, and open your eyes* 09:30 – Closing thoughts and the Anchored launch* 10:37 – In everything, be kind 

The story continues as we return to the streets of Park-Hill with two powerful chapters from The Tale of the Park-Hill Crew: Volume 3.In Chapter 3: "Numb Don't Mean Healed," we explore the emotional weight of trauma and loss. Just because the pain goes quiet doesn't mean it's gone. Some wounds become part of who we are, and the toughest battles are often the ones nobody can see.Then in Chapter 4: "Pressure from Every Angle," the pressure begins to close in. Family, loyalty, the streets, and impossible choices all collide as the Park-Hill Crew faces challenges that test every relationship and every decision. When life comes at you from every direction, something has to give.If you're enjoying the journey through Volume 3, be sure to follow the podcast, leave a rating, and share the episode with someone who loves authentic urban fiction.

Stoicism is meant to help you master your emotions. There's a version of it that just teaches you to avoid them.In this conversation I joined Erick Cloward on the Stoic Coffee Break to talk about "stoic bypassing" (Jules Evans' term): using the philosophy to suppress hard feelings instead of feeling them. We both grew up learning to push emotions down, so it got personal.We cover the difference between suppression and reappraisal, alexithymia, why the Let Them Theory is thinner than it looks, how the manosphere funnels every emotion through anger, the case for voluntary discomfort, and a reframe from Epictetus that means you can never lose a first date.This first aired on Erick's show, the Stoic Coffee Break.

Good morning Fabric! Will you help me spread that greeting around a little bit?  See if you can high-five or fist bump 2 or three people near you and say “Good Morning”,  I'm glad you are here!” or “Hi Friend!” Great work everyone!

Why do you keep turning to food when you're stressed… even when you know it's not what you actually need?In this episode, I dive into the real connection between emotional eating, stress, and the way we've learned to cope with discomfort, and why it's not about food or lack of discipline.If you find yourself turning to food to escape stress, overwhelm, or difficult emotions, and you're ready to understand what's really driving that pattern so you can begin to change it, this episode is for you.The Real Reason You Cope the Way You DoEvery single person copes differently.Some turn to food.Some to alcohol, shopping, scrolling, overworking…But underneath it all is the same unconscious driver:A belief that emotions are unsafe.When stress, fear, or discomfort arises, your nervous system can interpret it as something harmful — something you need to escape quickly. And the fastest way out?A dopamine hit.Dopamine, Patterns & “Addiction” ReframedWhat we often label as “addiction” isn't our identity.It's not a lack of willpower.It's simply a pattern that's been reinforced over time.A loop:Feel discomfortSeek reliefGet a quick rewardRepeatAnd over time, that loop becomes automatic.Food is just one option — but the pattern can show up everywhere:OvereatingOverspendingOverdrinkingOverworkingSame mechanism. Different outlet.The Unconscious Beliefs Running the ShowThe key word here is:Unconscious.These are the beliefs you're not actively thinking about, but they're driving your behavior:“Stress is harmful.”“I can't handle this feeling.”“If I sit in this, something bad will happen.”And because these beliefs live beneath awareness, they feel like truth.Your Patterns Are CluesIf you want to understand your relationship with food…You have to look beyond food.Questions you can ask:Where else do I avoid discomfort?Where do I shut down, distract, or escape?What patterns repeat across my life?Because:How you do anything is how you do everything.Why This Started (And Why It's Not Random)Most emotional coping patterns don't start in adulthood.They start in childhood.When:Emotions didn't feel safe to expressYou were told to “toughen up”You didn't receive support to regulate how you feltYou experienced stress or discomfort without guidanceAs a child, emotional pain can feel like physical pain. So your system learned to protect your the only way it knew how:Disconnect. Escape. Numb.Awareness Is the First ShiftYou don't need to fix everything overnight.You don't need to control your behavior.You need to start noticing.Because once you become aware…You can't become unaware.Ownership Without BlameOwning your patterns isn't about blaming yourself.It's about saying:“I'm choosing this because I'm trying to avoid something.”And that shift creates:AwarenessCuriosityCompassionPossibilityDownload my free guide, Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break Emotional and Binge Eating, and finally end the cycle of out-of-control eating: www.sherryshaban.comWork With Sherry Shaban:Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call and start your journey to lasting change! www.sherryshabanfitness.com/clarityListen & SubscribeCatch more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube so you never miss an episode!Connect & Go DeeperJoin our Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with Sherry: www.sherryshaban.com/transformExplore more resources: www.makepeacewithfood.comShare Your TakeawayTag us on Instagram (@makepeacewithfoodofficial), Facebook (@MakePeaceWithFoodOfficial), TikTok (@sherryshaban), or LinkedIn (sherryshaban) and share your biggest insight from this episode!

I canceled my birthday party a few days before it happened. Everybody was invited. The childcare was booked. And I called the whole thing off. Not because anything went wrong. Because I asked myself four questions, and by the time I got through them, I understood something about my life that had nothing to do with karaoke. This episode is those four questions. They're the ones that quietly decide whether your life gets bigger or smaller, and not just on your birthday. On basically every choice you make. In this episode: The four questions to run before you cancel, quit, or bail on anything. Why "everybody already knows, oh well" is how most of us end up on autopilot. The difference between a choice that expands your life and one that contracts it, and why the thing you tell yourself is self-care is so often the opposite. Numb is not better. It's just quieter. How to tell restoration from avoidance before you have the morning-after proof. Why the guest list you're honest about is a compass, not a verdict on whether you're loved. The question almost nobody asks: what's under-constructed in my life that's showing up as this hollow feeling? This is the work we do inside DEFENSE. Not more discipline, not a better plan, but building the defense that holds in the moment before the choice, so you stop negotiating against the woman you could be. The DEFENSE waitlist is open now: elizabethbenton.com/defense-app/

Numbness now seems to be the emotional default for so many of us — the result of living in a deranged reverse panopticon, where everything bad happening everywhere in the world (plus the fever dreams of robots) is beamed directly into your eyeballs all day long by our pitiless overlords.

On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Hongjoong of ATEEZ. Back in 2021, Hongjoong — one of the various members in ATEEZ — transformed Linkin Park's “Numb” into a K-pop hit, even getting a shoutout from Mike Shinoda. Since then, the group have only continued to explode, growing their international fanbase, selling out tours, and landing on the Billboard 200 with the release of their 13th EP, Golden Hour: Part 4. In conversation with Madden, Hongjoong opens up about the realities of life as a K-pop artist, the self-starting mindset that helped him break into the industry, and Korea's growing cultural influence around the world. ------- Listen to their Artist Friendly conversation on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ------- Follow Artist Friendly!

Why do we turn to food, alcohol, shopping, or even busyness when life feels overwhelming? In this episode, Chip and Leanne dive into the real reason we numb—what we’re actually trying to escape or avoid—and how society conditions us to suppress rather than process emotions. They break down the neuroscience behind coping mechanisms, revealing why they provide short-term relief but lead to long-term suffering.

The Break Room (MONDAY 6/29/26) 6am Hour

The mental and emotional weight of trying to conceive doesn't disappear once you're pregnant, or once the baby arrives. For many women, it quietly shapes everything that comes after.Sometimes the hardest part isn't the fertility treatment itself. It's carrying the aftermath of it into motherhood without anyone acknowledging that you went through something significant to get there.In this episode of The Science of Motherhood, Dr Renee White sits down with Dr Edna Lekgabe, certified perinatal and reproductive psychiatrist practising in Melbourne, to explore the mental health dimensions of the trying to conceive journey. They cover the difference between normal anxiety and clinical anxiety, how IVF trauma shows up in the body long after treatment ends, and why perinatal mental health challenges are never a personal failing.This is the final episode of the six-part Trying to Conceive series on The Science of Motherhood.In this episode, you'll hear about:Why what you're feeling is a nervous system response, not a character flawHow to recognise when anxiety has moved from visitor to renovationWhat IVF trauma looks like in the body and why it often goes unidentifiedHow medication decisions are made with a risk-versus-risk frameworkWhy reaching out early makes a differenceYour mental health through this journey is part of the journey. It deserves the same attention as everything else. There is support available, and you deserve to use it.If this resonates, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

Still showing up but feeling numb inside? Jesus is inviting you to stretch out what has withered.

In the manifestation world, we're often told that neutrality is the goal. But there's a problem: neutrality and numbness can look almost identical on the surface.Both can feel like a lack of emotion. Both can feel like you're no longer triggered. Both can feel like you've "let it go."But they're not the same thing.True neutrality comes after you've processed the emotions, beliefs, and resistance underneath an issue. Numbness, on the other hand, is often what happens when those emotions are still there but have been suppressed, avoided, or disconnected from.In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between neutrality and numbness, why so many people mistake one for the other, and how that mistake can keep you stuck in manifestation work.Money Moves: 30 Day EFT Tapping Program to clear money blockshttps://victoriadambrozio.mykajabi.com/money-moves-sales-page

What are you turning to when life gets hard—and what might it be costing you? This weekend, Paul explores how many of us use things like gambling, technology, cannabis, shopping, or other habits to numb pain, only to discover we're also numbing ourselves to joy, relationships, growth, and God.

Send us Fan MailIn this powerful episode of the 247 Real Talk Podcast, I ask the question that a lot of people may be thinking but not saying out loud: Have we become so desensitized, disenfranchised, and complacent that we're now just accepting the wrong being done in the world and to us?Have we slowly given up on believing that goodness, truth, and righteousness will ultimately prevail? Or are we just so worn down by everything happening around us that we've stopped expecting better?This conversation is about awareness, accountability, faith, and the danger of becoming too comfortable with what should never be accepted.If you've ever felt like the world is growing colder, quieter, and more indifferent, this episode is for you.In this episode:•Desensitization in today's world•How complacency becomes dangerous•Why people stop speaking up•The struggle to keep faith in goodness•Whether righteousness still has a chance to win#247RealTalk #Podcast #RealTalk #Faith #Truth #Awareness #Righteousness #Society #MentalHealth #Hope

On this Saturday edition of the Fifth Hour Podcast, Ben shares tales from the naked city that never sleeps while chasing his older brother around New York like an overcaffeinated tourist with giant bozo the clown shoes that left him as numb as a bug. From rooftop parks, legendary pizza and bagel stops to numb feet and urban chaos, Maller pulls back the curtain on his life outside the overnight microphones.

With everything going on in the world, it makes sense that some of us want to check out. But at what cost?In this episode, host Brittany Luse is dissecting our current obsession with numbing ourselves to the moment and tuning out. This so-called “numb girl” attitude and aesthetic is defined by detachment, irony, and a world weary cynicism. Think the "Gen Z pout," "expressionless Botox chic,” a deadpan voice, or selfies with a vacant gaze. Of course, It appears effortless and nonchalant, but it's highly curated and self-aware — it's the perfect mask for avoiding humiliation in a world that is always there to judge you. But is avoiding the pain of the world good for us?Brittany is joined by writer Rayne Fisher-Quann aka Internet Princess and freelance cultural critic Sophie Lou Wilson to get into why all the cool girls are dissociating and what we lose when we numb ourselves to the world around us.(0:00) News fatigue, detachment, & irony are cooler than ever(5:02) Gucci runways to political nihilism: numbness went mainstream(10:15) Lobotomy Chic: an ironic joke turned beauty trend(14:57) The privilege of dissociating. Who can afford to disconnect?(18:08) Is numbness a form of feminist resistance?(20:15) How to un-numb and reconnect with humanityThis episode contains mentions of suicide.
