In this episode of the Holistic Sister Circle, somatic therapist and business coach Bobby Marie shares the truth about burnout—how it starts, how it shows up in the body, and what it really takes to create the internal shift needed to heal. Drawing from years in clinical practice, personal lived experience, and her newly released book Shift Happens, Bobby explains why so many people feel stuck in stress cycles and how slowing down becomes the first step toward real change.

She also discusses the impact of workplace culture, high-pressure environments, the nervous system’s response to chronic stress, and the small “micro-moments” that help retrain the mind and body toward regulation. Whether you’re navigating burnout, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling disconnected from yourself, this conversation offers grounded, practical tools for creating a healthier relationship with work and with your own body.

In this episode you will learn:

• The root causes of burnout and how it affects both mind and body

• Why slowing down is essential for nervous system regulation

• Simple mindfulness techniques you can use anywhere—even in your car before work

• How to identify when a job no longer aligns with your values or well-being

• Practical tools from Bobby’s book Shift Happens for setting boundaries and restoring balance

This episode is a reminder that burnout doesn't define you—and with awareness, tools, and permission to pause, you can experience the internal shift that leads to clarity, calm, and renewed energy.
