Why Rest Isn’t Working Anymore — And What Actually Heals Burnout
Send us a text
“I took time off… and I’m still exhausted.”
“I slowed down… and I feel worse.”
“I rested… but the anxiety came right back.”
If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.
In this opening episode of January on The Aligned Human Project Podcast, Dawn Elgin dismantles one of the biggest myths about burnout, that rest alone will fix it.
Burnout is not a time-management issue.
It’s not a motivation problem.
And it’s not because you’re weak.
Burnout is a nervous system and coherence issue.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✨ What burnout actually is (and what it isn’t)
✨ Why high-functioning people are most at risk
✨ Why slowing down can sometimes make burnout feel worse
✨ How Field + Form explains exhaustion
✨ Why coherence heals what rest cannot
✨ Practical, daily practices that restore energy without losing ambition
This episode offers relief without collapse — and a way forward that doesn’t require burning your life down.
Mantra:
“I stop forcing. I return to coherence. I come home to myself.”Reflection Question:
Where am I living out of alignment — and what small shift would bring me back into coherence?⏱️ Chapters / Timestamps
