77: What Full Burnout Taught Me About True Abundance

In today's episode of The Story of Spirit, Sheetal talks about the often invisible and creeping nature of burnout. She shares her personal experience with how burnout can sneak up when you’re juggling too many roles — entrepreneur, mom, partner, friend — and not listening to your body’s early warning signs. Drawing a vivid comparison to the "mountain climber" game on The Price is Right, Sheetal explores how small, incremental missteps and ignoring the nervous system's signals can lead to complete physical shutdown. She also unpacks how societal programming around productivity and worthiness fuels this cycle for high-achieving, hyper-independent women.

Through a raw and real story of working too hard, overriding her own body, and finally being forced into rest by a long bout of illness and laryngitis, Sheetal reveals the critical lessons learned about honoring your body's wisdom. If you identify as a driven woman who struggles to slow down, this episode is an important reminder that your body always wins — and it’s better to listen before you’re forced to stop.

Reflect on Your Own Journey:

Sheetal invites you to reflect with the following questions:

1. What subtle signs has your body been sending you lately that you might be overriding with "just one more thing"?
2. Where in your life have you been pushing past your natural energy limits because of a belief tied to productivity or worth?
3. How could you create small, non-negotiable moments of rest or reset in your weekly schedule to support your nervous system?
