In this episode of Words & Contemplations, Fai shares a reflection on “Burnout” by Emily Nagoski, a book that changed the way she understands stress, burnout and what it actually means to move through difficult experiences. Exploring the idea of the stress cycle and the difference between experiencing stress and completing the body's response to it, this episode looks at why simply removing the source of stress isn't always enough. Sometimes the body needs something different: a chance to move, release, rest and return to a sense of safety. A thoughtful and personal exploration of burnout, stress, the nervous system and the importance of understanding what our bodies are asking for when life feels like too much.
