Plug the Energy Leaks That Are Draining Your Life

Burnout doesn’t start with a breakdown. It starts with the little signs we miss: irritability, cravings, forgetfulness, bad sleep, zoning out mid-conversation. That’s your stress pattern taking the wheel.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the four primary nervous system responses, fight, flight, freeze, and fawn, and how they show up in everyday life. We’ll talk about how these patterns get wired into us, and how you can start catching them before they run your life.

What we cover:

• How to identify your personal stress response
• Why we default to the same reaction over and over
• Early signs you’re headed toward burnout
• Small, doable ways to regulate in real time

If you’ve been powering through, telling yourself you’ll slow down “after this week,” this episode is your wake-up call. I’m breaking down the sneaky signs of burnout (especially the high-functioning kind), why strong, capable people are often the first to ignore them, and how to start protecting your energy before your body forces you to stop.

 No guilt. No “just meditate more” nonsense. Just practical, real-life strategies you can start today.
