Traffic. Slow walkers. Notifications. Minor delays.
Why does everything seem to get under your skin lately?
In this episode, we look at irritability through a psychological and nervous-system lens — not as a personality flaw, but as a signal. We unpack how modern life overloads the brain, drains emotional resources, and lowers frustration tolerance without us realizing it.
You’ll learn:
Why irritability is often a sign of nervous system overload
How decision fatigue and overstimulation affect emotional regulation
The link between irritability, anxiety, and burnout
Why “trying to stay calm” often makes things worse
This episode offers a compassionate reframe: irritation isn’t anger — it’s depletion. And instead of fixing yourself, the real work is learning how to restore space, rest, and recovery in a world that rarely slows down.
Reflection prompt:
Where in your life might you be overloaded rather than “too sensitive”?
