Some Mondays just arrive with a layer of meh. No obvious reason. This is what Rick and Clancy did about it.
They get into why stuck feels different in the empty nest, why wallowing feels strangely satisfying even when it doesn’t feel good, and why the empty nest version of a low day can feel louder than it should.
They also walk through what actually moved them out of it… recognizing self-imposed pressure, saying the real thing to your person, finding something specific to be grateful for, and making a plan when everything feels like it’s sitting still.
