## Resource

Burnout isn’t just stress and that’s why your "self-care" isn't working. If you’ve tried taking a vacation, sleeping more, or clearing your inbox, but you still feel like a hollowed-out version of yourself, this episode is for you. We’re diving into the two hidden drivers of burnout that go far beyond a heavy workload: Identity-linked pressure and Nervous System Dysregulation. In this episode, we explore: The Burnout Misconception: Why vacations don't work. The Identity Trap: Why high-achievers can't "turn off." The Biological Reality: Burnout as a nervous system shutdown. The Signs: From "tired but wired" to emotional flattening. The Solution: Shifting how you view your value. Do you recognize these patterns in yourself? Let’s talk about it in the comments. 🔗 About Sarah Dawkins Sarah Dawkins is a passionate Holistic Health and Healing Coach, international speaker and author of Heal Yourself.
