19. Embodied Success: Burnout Recovery and Sustainable Achievement for Women
In this episode of The Awakened Mind, Shannon Rollins sits down with Maria Marcano, Burnout Recovery and Resilience Coach, to unpack the real story behind burnout. They explore how burnout is far more than stress—it's a deep call for repair and reconnection with the body.
Maria opens up about her personal experience with burnout, sharing the physical and emotional toll it took and how she found her way back to resilience. Together, they dive into the differences between stress and burnout, the stigma that keeps many women stuck in cycles of depletion, and why true recovery goes beyond surface-level fixes. You'll also learn about the role of somatic practices in healing burnout, the stages of burnout recovery, and practical body-based tools like stomping and shaking to discharge stress.
Whether you're feeling the early signs or deep into burnout, this conversation offers a grounded, compassionate roadmap back to vitality.
