Kimberly Hoyt: EMBR Mornings

Stop Living on Autopilot and Feel Better Now! 8/5/25

Kimberly Hoyt

Numb is not neutral, feel to heal, presence over autopilot. In this EMBR Mornings reflection, uncover how scrolling, over-functioning, and distraction mask deeper misalignment—and how naming what you’re afraid to feel becomes the first step toward true healing.

Today’s benefit: you’ll learn to pause the “murky middle” of exhaustion, ask “What am I afraid to feel?” and gently acknowledge your truth—so you can realign with intention, reduce overwhelm, and press play on authentic living.

✨ EMBR Mornings is a daily soul-centered reflection to help women return to who they truly are—grounded, beloved, and on purpose. Each brief episode offers a sacred pause to sip your coffee, breathe with intention, and remember the ember within.

Good morning, sweet friend. Grab your coffee, take a breath, and let's settle in. Here on EMBR mornings, we're choosing presence over autopilot, and today we're naming something that's hard to admit. The way we numb ourselves just to get through. Because sometimes out of alignment doesn't look dramatic. It looks like scrolling, overscheduling, over functioning, and we call it normal. So I want you to hear this thought of the day. Numb is not neutral. As I told you yesterday, there was this stretch of time where I hated my job. I worked at that job for 13 years and there was a point where I didn't feel much of anything. No big joys, but no big breakdowns either. Just a lot of, I call it the murky middle, this low hum of exhaustion. I wasn't falling apart, but I definitely was not thriving. And the hardest part, I don't think I even noticed it. Because distraction had become my baseline. If I would've taken the time to ask myself this question. What am I afraid to feel? I think the answer would've been wild because I wasn't afraid of pain. I was afraid that if I stopped, I'd actually have to face the truth that I was in a life, living a life, day in, day out, that I did not love. I love my family, I love my kiddos, but working so much is a big part of our life. Right? And spending time in that job that I hated, tainted every other aspect of my life. Numbing is so sneaky. It wears the costume of productivity. That's how I felt. Oh, I'll just work more, make more money. That will help. But your soul knows the difference. Neutral is not peace. It's a pause. And it is time to press play again with intention. So today I want you to ask yourself, where am I numbing and what is it protecting me from feeling? I want you to ask yourself that question again. What am I afraid to feel? You don't have to go all the way into that feeling right now, just name it. And breathe. This is how alignment begins. We need to understand what is maybe holding us back and what those blocks are. So there's nothing wrong with you. You're just waking up. Again. Let's EMBR the day ahead. fully here fully human. See you tomorrow.
