Key Takeaways: Burnout is not just an individual issue—it’s perpetuated by workplace systems and culture. Stress, if not processed through the body, gets stored and raises our baseline for future stress.

True prevention requires both individual strategies and systemic changes in leadership and organizational design. Listening to your body’s signals is the first step toward an exceptional, sustainable life.
