You're Not Broken, You're Depleted: The Primal Five with Dr. Matthew Campbell

💬 Got something to share? Text or voice note me (https://www.buzzsprout.com/2628501/fan_mail/new) What if you're not broken? What if you're just depleted? On this Wisdom Wednesday, Nyomi Banks sits down with psychologist Dr. Matthew Campbell, PhD, creator of the Primal Five framework, to talk about the five basic needs modern life has quietly stripped away from almost all of us, and why fixing yourself might be the wrong goal entirely. Our world has changed, but our bodies have not. In more than 20 years of practice, Dr. Campbell kept seeing the same thing: people working hard on their pain while the fundamentals that give them capacity came last. Together, Nyomi and Dr. Campbell talk about what depletion really feels like day to day, why the idea of "earning" rest is the trap, and how to begin with one small shift instead of chasing perfection. In this episode: • The Primal Five: sunlight, sleep, movement, meaningful connection, and consumption (what you eat and what you feed your mind) • The signs of depletion before burnout: always tired, caffeine all day, irritability, isolating, everything feeling effortful • Why meaningful connection is the most overlooked need, and what it means when "the person is the end" • Resting because your body needs it vs. resting because you think you earned it • One easy place to start: take your morning coffee or tea outside for 15 to 30 minutes of sunlight Connect with Dr. Matthew Campbell Free capacity quiz, the Our Primal Five workbook and app: ourprimalfive.com (https://www.ourprimal5.com/) Love yourself first so you can love others well. • Continue your self-discovery with the Elevate Me app: elevatemenyomi.com • Free Mindset Monday worksheet every week: substack.com/@theseasonofselflove (http://substack.com/@theseasonofselflove) • Watch on YouTube: @TheSeasonofSelfLove • Instagram & TikTok: @theseasonofselflovepodcast • Facebook: theseasonofselflove • Website: theseasonofselflove.com Elevate Me: Self Discovery App (https://studio.com/nyomi/elevate?a=season-user&c=Dle0QNTV) 4-phase self-love journey: meditations, workbooks, coaching chat & journaling.
