  • There Are 4 Types of Tired—Discover Yours To Get Your Energy Back
    Mar 23 2026
    Ever sleep in on a Saturday and still wake up exhausted? Or finally take that vacation you’ve been dreaming about, only to come back feeling like you need another one? Or maybe you cancel all your plans to stay home and rest, and somehow end up feeling even worse. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. So I got curious (as I do) and dove into the research. Turns out, there are actually four totally different types of tired: Input Tired, Emotionally Tired, Physiologically Tired, and Existentially Tired. If we don’t know what kind of tired we’re dealing with, we end up throwing the wrong solutions at it—and then wonder why nothing actually helps. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to figure out exactly what kind of tired you are, so you can finally get the kind of rest that makes you feel energized again. Because you deserve to feel GOOD, not just a little less tired. 🎧 What you’ll learn: Why you still feel exhausted after a full night's sleep and exactly what to do about it The 4 different types of tired, plus how to identify which one you’re experiencing How to know if the type of rest you’re reaching for won’t make you feel better Research-supported fixes for each type of tired and my favorite ways to feel rested and recharged How to re-balance your dopamine without going cold-turkey on screens Why existential exhaustion is valid and increasingly common—plus two evidence-backed antidotes A simple daily practice that makes life feel richer and more energizing To find out what type of tired you are, take the full quiz at lizmoody.com/tired. It’ll give you a more detailed breakdown and some personalized recommendations, too.

  • The Real Reason You're Anxious—That No One Is Talking About
    Mar 18 2026
    Have you ever wondered why anxiety is so hard to get rid of, even when you feel like you’re doing everything right? Maybe you’ve been meditating, breathing, journaling, and it still keeps coming up. Turns out, there's a reason for that, that I haven’t heard anyone else talk about. Owen O'Kane is a psychotherapist, three-time Sunday Times bestselling author, and former NHS Mental Health Lead who has spent 30 years at the intersection of physical and mental health, including a decade in palliative care. In this conversation, Owen shares how anxiety is not an enemy to be defeated but a scared part of you that's desperate to be heard, and we get into exactly how to finally change your relationship with it. 🎧 What you'll learn: Why anxiety is addictive, and the psychological mechanism that makes it almost impossible to let go of, even when it feels like it’s ruining your life The reason most anxiety treatments don't fully work (and what’'s almost always missing) What "positive beliefs about worry" are and how they might be sabotaging your recovery Why anxiety can suddenly appear out of nowhere in adulthood, even if you had a seemingly normal childhood The single most important question to ask yourself if you want your relationship with anxiety to actually change Why all your breathwork, supplements, and wellness practices might be making things worse The one question Owen asks every new client before they do anything else, and why he won't move forward until they can answer it honestly If you liked this episode, check out this one: Feel Less Anxious Now: Solutions To YOUR Top Qs For more from Owen O’Kane: Instagram: @owenokaneten Website: https://www.owenokane.com/ Addicted to Anxiety, https://read.macmillan.com/lp/addicted-to-anxiety-9781250439970/ Ready to uplevel every part of your life?
