375 - 4 Shifts That Helped Me Recover from Burnout (They’ll Help You Too)
You’re showing up, but inside, you’re unraveling.
You’re getting the work done. Smiling when you’re supposed to. Even squeezing in the workouts and the meetings and the meal prep.
But if you’re honest? You’re running on fumes.
This is burnout—but not the collapse-on-the-bathroom-floor kind.
This is high-functioning burnout. The invisible kind. The kind that simmers quietly in high-achieving women until everything starts to feel like too much.
In this episode of Alive & Well, I’m walking you through my nervous-system-first approach to healing chronic stress that doesn’t ask you to hustle harder or download another planner.
You’ll learn:
🔹 Why burnout is a biological process, not a personal failure
🔹 How your nervous system gets stuck in survival—and what to do about it
🔹 The role of allostatic load, chronic stress, and hidden trauma in burnout
🔹 The 4 shifts that help you stop surviving and start recovering
We’ll cover:
✔️ How performing your worth keeps you in sympathetic overdrive
✔️ Why rest isn’t optional (and how to reclaim it even when it feels unsafe)
✔️ What fawning and people-pleasing have to do with burnout
✔️ Why reconnecting to your body is the most effective path out
If you’re tired of white-knuckling your way through life, this episode will give you a new framework for understanding burnout—and a real plan to move through it.
💡 Because you don’t need more discipline. You need more safety.
And that starts in your body.
