Ep. 12 - Energy Leaks & Leadership Drains: The 4 Burnout Patterns Costing You Capacity
If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Why am I this tired when I’m doing everything right?”—this episode is for you.
I’m talking to the high-functioning, ambitious woman who’s holding it all together on the outside—career, motherhood, household—but quietly unraveling behind the scenes. If you’ve been feeling exhausted, anxious, reactive, or just off, this isn’t a motivation problem. It’s a systems problem.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the four most common burnout patterns I see in my 1:1 clients—and probably the one you're experiencing too. Once you understand the pattern your body is stuck in, you can finally start taking action to support it.
Here’s what I dive into:
Why your symptoms aren’t personal flaws—they’re signals from your body
The real reason your body feels like it’s shutting down (spoiler: you’re not broken)
How to start regulating your nervous system and rebuilding from the root
The 4 burnout patterns:
The Overdrive Operator – You’re wired but tired, with racing thoughts and constant anxiety
The Silent Shutdown – You’re completely drained, unmotivated, and flatlined
The Gut-Driven Spiral – You’re bloated, reacting to food, and your digestion is a mess
The Burnout Boundary Crash – You’re emotionally flooded, people-pleasing, and overcommitted
What each burnout type is asking for—and how to start giving it to yourself
Why your strict routine might be doing more harm than good
I also opened up about my own recent flare-up and how my body literally forced me to slow down. It was a huge wake-up call and reminder that healing isn’t about adding more—sometimes it’s about doing less and tuning in more deeply to what your body truly needs.
