What Your Body Is Trying To Tell You About Burnout

In this episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs I'm joined by Alexandra Goldwell, a somatic therapist with more than 30 years of experience helping women reconnect with their bodies, trust their inner wisdom and heal from chronic stress. Alexandra shares her own deeply personal story of navigating divorce, single motherhood, financial hardship and a cancer diagnosis while trying to hold everything together.Together, we also talk about what happens when moms spend years pushing through exhaustion, ignoring our body's signals and believing we just need to try harder. Alexandra explains why burnout often shows up physically long before we recognize it, how chronic stress affects our nervous system and why learning to listen to our bodies can be an important part of healing.Whether you're feeling emotionally exhausted or wondering why you don't feel like yourself anymore, I hope this conversation reminds you that your body isn't working against you...it's trying to help you and listening to what it's saying is an important part of burnout recovery.In this episode we discuss:Alexandra's personal journey through burnout, single motherhood and cancerThe physical signs your body may be giving you before burnout reaches a breaking pointWhy so many women become disconnected from their bodies while trying to do it allHow chronic stress impacts your nervous system over timePractical ways to begin rebuilding trust with your body and yourself.Find Alexandra at:Instagram: @alexandragoldwell Website: https://stan.store/askalexandraLooking for extra support?
