Your nervous system triggers the same survival response when you listen to your patient’s trauma as it would if you were the one in danger.
After years of clinical work, your brain no longer distinguishes whose trauma it’s carrying.

That’s not emotional weakness.
That’s neuroscience.

In this episode, I unpack what no one explains in training: how mirror neurons, polyvagal activation, and chronic exposure to distress biologically wire women healers for exhaustion, burnout, and compassion fatigue over time.

We look at what happens when trauma is mirrored repeatedly without discharge—and why your body stays on high alert long after the session ends.

You’ll understand:

• Why chronic hypervigilance becomes your baseline
• How decision fatigue drains personal power and clarity
• Why exhaustion shows up as brain fog, resentment, sleep disruption, and loss of self

This episode reframes exhaustion not as failure, but as accurate nervous system feedback.

This conversation introduces a practical, embodied lens for understanding exhaustion—one that replaces self-blame with physiological clarity and opens the door to restoration without adding more effort or self-improvement demands.

We rise together.

This podcast is for women healers over 50 navigating burnout and compassion fatigue who want nervous-system-informed insight into exhaustion, purpose loss, polyvagal regulation, chakra healing, and embodied recovery so they can move from survival into clarity, stability, and restoration.

Burnout isn’t your failure—it’s the cost of caring too long without support.
In Pursuit of Soul Joy: A 12-Week Guide for Overcoming Burnout and Compassion Fatigue is written for women healers ready to stop surviving and start living again.
