Is Burnout Real? What it is and How to Heal | Summer Special

What does burnout actually feel like in your body and why does our culture keep getting it so wrong? This is one of our favourite House of Peregrine episodes, brought to you as part of our Summer Series - shorter clips from the conversations we keep coming back to. Mickelle sits down with somatic empowerment coach Alicia Ingruber for a conversation that is equal parts science and soul. Alicia rebuilt her life after a two-year burnout by learning to work with her body, not against it and what she shares here will reframe everything you thought you knew.They go deep on the nervous system, the difference between burnout and exhaustion, and why sensitive women and high achievers are carrying a weight the world refuses to acknowledge. Mickelle opens up about her own burnout - not from work, but from motherhood - proving this can happen to anyone when we stop listening to what our bodies are telling us.In this episode:The three nervous system states and the moment your body tips into full collapseWhy burnout and tiredness are not the same thing, and why that distinction changes everythingHow sensitive women and high achievers are uniquely at risk and why healing takes far longer than anyone tells youWhy burnout isn't just a workplace story: international moves, caregiving, and major life transitions count tooConnect with Alicia Ingruber at aliciainspired.com and listen to the full episode at houseofperegrine.com/podcast/ep-063House of Peregrine is the network for International life, made by and for people living abroad.  Get started with a FREE account today to unlock exclusive content, connections, and opportunities:houseofperegrine.com/auth/signupJoin a global circle of thinkers, creators, and doers.
