Summary
In this episode of Shine In-N-Out, Samantha Stoltz speaks with Dr. Julie Merriman about the real science behind burnout. Together, they explore how nervous system dysregulation — not weakness or poor time management — drives chronic stress and emotional exhaustion. Dr. Merriman shares how high-achieving women become trapped in cycles of over giving and self-sacrifice, and why true recovery requires more than rest. This conversation covers burnout, identity, compassion fatigue, polyvagal theory, and sustainable nervous system healing. If you’re ready to move from survival mode back into vitality, this episode offers clarity, validation, and a grounded path forward. This is a public episode.
