Can't Be Contained 342: Your Body's Breaking Point: How Burnout Hijacks Energy, Fertility & Longevity
Alright, my loves—today on Can’t Be Contained, we’re jumping right into a topic that so many of you are quietly wrestling with… burnout. I’m back on the mic and, let me tell you, I had a hilarious flashback to my Hungry for Happiness days. (Yes, I almost welcomed you back to the wrong podcast! Maybe Hungry for Happiness will make a comeback one day—who knows?)
But listen, this episode is all about those sneaky signs of physical burnout. You know what I’m talking about: the irritation for no reason, blaming full moons and launches, overriding our nervous system with constant ambition. Whew. It’s exhausting. And it’s SO normalized in our culture to hustle ‘til it hurts, but honestly, it’s time to flip the script.
Here’s what we’re getting into:
➤ Why burnout is so silent and so easy to miss (until you’re deep in it)
➤ The science behind physical burnout and how your mitochondria are begging for some TLC
➤ How something as simple as breathwork can actually boost your energy, turn on your body’s healing, and even slow visible signs of aging (real talk: it took anti-aging research to finally get my mom on board!)
➤ The truth about slow productivity, doing less really well, and why your body needs you to rebel against hustle culture
Plus, I share a client story that will blow your mind: 20 minutes of breathwork a day turned her chronic fatigue completely around. We’re covering practical basics, too—food, water, sleep, all the stuff you already know, but probably aren’t doing. (Let’s be real.)
So if you’re feeling stuck, tired, or just “off,” this one is for you. Come hang with me, get rebellious, and let’s start restoring your body and your energy from the inside out. Oh—and if you’re not already on the Pause Breathwork app, grab your free 14-day trial. Trust me, you’ll want that lifeline when you forget just how powerful you actually are.
