If you’ve ever tried to “positive-think” your way out of burnout — only to still feel edgy, exhausted, or emotionally flat — you’re not alone. In today’s episode, we’re unpacking why mindset work often falls short when it comes to real burnout recovery — and what your body actually needs instead. You’ll learn: • The neuroscience of why mindset tools don’t always land when you’re dysregulated • Why your body overrides your best intentions • The difference between insight and integration • What it actually takes to create sustainable shifts in how you feel and function We’ll also talk about the role of somatic tools, how they work, and why this is the foundation of my upcoming workshop, From On Edge to At Ease. Join me live on Tuesday, August 26 for a free, nervous-system-based experience to help you finally feel the shift your mindset work couldn’t create.
