Feeling exhausted despite rest? 


This episode explores the root causes of chronic burnout and compassion fatigue among women healers over 50, highlighting why rest alone often can’t help your body recover. 

• Dive into how polyvagal theory and somatic healing shed light on nervous system dysregulation, alongside hormonal changes during perimenopause, that trap you in survival mode. 
• Discover why boundary setting and self-compassion are crucial steps to reclaim your vitality and purpose. 
• We also explore chakra healing, especially focusing on the root chakra, to rebuild your foundation of safety and energy. 
• Finally, engage in a guided somatic practice to help regulate your nervous system and move from burnout to embodied recovery. 

This episode offers nervous-system-informed insights and practical tools to support healing and radiance beyond exhaustion. It’s not about pushing harder but learning to feel safe enough to truly rest.
