### 🧬 What Is Burnout? How Do I Recover Without Having to Revamp My Life?

📅 Thursday, August 14th
🕛 12:00 PM PT | Virtual Event

You’re exhausted—but not in a way that sleep seems to fix. You might be holding it all together on the outside—showing up at work, caring for others, keeping the wheels turning—but inside, you’re running on fumes. Burnout for women can be especially complicated. Many say they’d almost rather be diagnosed with something like cancer—because at least then they’d feel “allowed” to rest. In this honest, judgment-free conversation, we’ll explore what burnout really is (hint: it’s not just stress), why so many women are silently struggling with it, and how to start recovering without having to burn your life down or move to a yurt. Come exactly as you are—no fixing required. You’ll leave with clarity, validation, and some simple ways to start feeling like yourself again

### 🔬 What You’ll Learn:

  • The Cell Danger Response: what it is, why your cells literally shut down energy production when they don’t feel safe, and why this isn’t always picked up on standard lab work.
  • Why burnout is a metabolic state, not just a mindset
  • The early signs of dysregulation before they show up on labs (and how to listen before your body has to scream)
  • An overview of the three burnout types (Warrior, Fortress, Winging It) and how your recovery needs may differ depending on which mode you’re in
  • How to begin supporting your system in a way that doesn’t rely on willpower, supplements, or perfection

### 🌿 Burnout Isn’t One-Dimensional

You could be doing everything “right” in one area of life—eating well, exercising, sleeping 8 hours a night—and still feel like you’re running on fumes.
That’s because burnout can show up in different domains of your life:

  • You may be crushing it with your nutrition, but stuck in a toxic relationship dynamic.
  • You may have a solid morning routine but feel chronically overstimulated by caregiving or lack of boundaries.
  • You don’t need more information—you need the right insight into where the energy leak is happening.

We’ll explore how different burnout types tend to show up in different areas—and why healing looks different for each woman.

### 💛 Why It Matters:

Burnout is not a failure. It’s a form of body intelligence—your system is adapting the best it can to keep you safe. But healing it requires going deeper than most of us are taught to go.
Let’s talk about what’s really happening—and why the first step to healing might just be believing yourself.

### 🧠 Who This Is For:

This event is especially for women who:

  • Feel like they’ve tried everything—rest, supplements, meditation, labs—but are still deeply tired
  • Are being told everything looks "normal" but feel anything but
  • Suspect their energy crash is deeper than just being busy
  • Want to understand the why behind their fatigue (and what to do next)
