Ep 40 The Truth About Burnout: What Your Body Has Been Trying to Tell You with Katie Townsend

Understanding This Will Change How You Lead, Live, and Heal

Today’s episode will forever change how you think about overwhelm, burnout, leadership, and why your nervous system—not your mindset—is often running the show.

I'll sit down with Katie Townsend, a former therapist turned powerhouse branding and business coach, to explore what it really means to lead from embodiment—not performance. Katie’s unique blend of somatic wisdom, storytelling, and strategic brilliance will have you rethinking what it means to show up for yourself and your success.

Whether you’re climbing the ladder, running a business, or simply tired of feeling like you’re doing everything “right” but still feel off… this conversation is your permission slip to slow down, recalibrate, and remember who you are.

You’ll learn:

• The surprising way shame hides under ambition
• Why burnout isn’t fixed with time off—it’s healed through embodiment
• How to build nervous system resilience so you can actually hold more: joy, wealth, success, peace
• The emotional contracts living in your body (and how to release them)
• Practical tools to feel safe, grounded, and fully seen again

This is more than an episode—it’s a wake-up call.
