If you're feeling overwhelmed, you're not wrong and you're not failing. But if you ignore this warning from your body, you're on the fast track to burnout. In this deeply personal and science-backed episode, Alison Starr unpacks overwhelm as a red flag, not a flaw. Drawing from somatic psychology, nervous system research, and lived experience, she reveals how ignoring the signs of stress and overload can lead to burnout—and how to turn it around.

  • Understand the physiology of overwhelm (it's not just in your head)
  • Learn bottom-up, body-based tools to recalibrate in real-time
  • Discover the power of increasing certainty
  • Explore how transformation begins when you stop resisting what is

 

Using metaphors like the “batting cage,” the "window of tolerance," and the cycle of burnout, this episode is a compassionate, eloquent guide for women who are ready to rewire overwhelm into clarity and self-sustaining power.
