Why Rest Feels So Hard When You’re Used to Surviving

Why Rest Feels So Hard When You’re Used to Surviving

In this powerful episode of the Unbreakable Podcast, host Kait Dinunzio sits down with her "sister from another mister," Denise Dmitruk, for a deep dive into resilience, chronic illness, and the transformative power of self-love.

Denise opens up about her life’s "roller coaster," from growing up in a broken home to navigating severe health challenges, including Crohn’s disease, arthritis, and cancer, all while building a career as a nurse and competing as a bodybuilder. Together, they explore the critical difference between Freud vs. Adlerian psychology: are we defined by our past, or by what we choose to do with it?

Key Topics Discussed:

  • The Science of How We Rise: Exploring how mindset dictates your response to life’s "stormy waters".
  • Digital Detox & Mental Health: Why "doomscrolling" and social media consumption are the mental equivalent of eating a bag of tortillas and chocolate cake before bed.
  • The Power of "One Small Step": How to handle a full plate by deciding which "bite" to take first.
  • Self-Love After 30: Moving from the nursing mindset of putting everyone else first to finally putting on your own "oxygen mask".
  • Protecting Your Peace: Practical tips for disconnecting, like Kait’s 8:30 PM phone lockout, to improve your "sleep score" and overall wellness.

Stick around for the "Debatable" segment where Kait and Denise settle the ultimate prairie debate: Does silverware go handle-up or face-down in the dishwasher?
