Welcome back, Feels Family! đź’›
This week, Johnny and Lisa are talking about a feeling we all know but rarely name: the emotional hangover—that mental and physical fog you get after a big social event, a tough conversation, or a whirlwind of feelings.

From the science behind why our emotions can leave us drained, to the everyday triggers that set them off, they’re unpacking how to recognize, recover from, and even prevent emotional hangovers in your own life.

They get real about:
đź’¬ What an emotional hangover really is and how it shows up
🧠 Why your brain and body react like you’ve just run a marathon
🛑 Common triggers—from arguments to overstimulation
🌱 Practical recovery tools that actually work
⚖️ Balancing connection with the need for alone time
❤️ Giving yourself permission to rest without guilt
🔄 How to stop a hangover before it starts

PLUS: A shoutout to OuLa-Lade Lemonade 🍋 — because nothing soothes the soul like the perfect Bev.

✨ Question of the Week:
What’s one thing you do to recharge after a socially or emotionally draining day? Share in the comments or DMs—your tip might save someone else from their next emotional hangover.
