Burnout Isn’t Weakness: Spot the Signals and Build Real Recovery Practices with Kristen Donnelly

Burnout is not a personal flaw. It is often a culture problem that shows up in your body, mood, and motivation.

Kristen Donnelly breaks down the stress cycle, the early signs we dismiss as “normal,” and why rest alone rarely fixes chronic depletion. You will leave with simple, sustainable practices to rebuild capacity and protect your humanity at work and beyond.

About the Guest:

Kristen Donnelly is a social worker and researcher who studies burnout and stress. She co-authors her work with her research partner, Aaron, and teaches leaders how to build healthier cultures.

Key Takeaways:

• Watch for loss of motivation, numbness, and “I don’t care” as early burnout signals

• Finish the stress cycle daily, start with intentional breathing

• Replace “quick fixes” with small, disciplined practices that your brain will accept

• Protect non-monetized joy, do one happy activity today with no productivity goal

• Leaders must build real trust before asking personal recovery questions

Listen to Your Body, Heal Your Nervous System with Dayna Wylder

If you feel stuck in fatigue, pain, burnout, or “mystery symptoms” this episode reframes the whole game. Host Sayan sits down with Dayna Wylder to unpack why the body is not your enemy. It is your messenger. Dayna shares how years of disconnection, escapism, and overriding basic needs led to a wake-up call through multiple sclerosis. Together they break down how modern culture trains us to suppress signals, push harder, and treat healing like a quick fix. You will hear a grounded approach to nervous system healing, body awareness, subtle energy, and practical wellness habits that rebuild trust with your body. This conversation is for anyone navigating chronic illness, stress, emotional overload, or a deep desire to reconnect with mind, body, and spirit.

About the Guest:

Dayna Wylder is a wellness author and the creator behind Energy Over Matter. She shares a holistic approach to healing that blends nervous system regulation, energy medicine, meditation, breathwork, and mindset work. Her book, Unlearned Disease Re: Learn Well-being, explores how symptoms can carry meaning and how people can rebuild well-being by reconnecting with their body’s signals.

Key Takeaways:

• Your symptoms are data, not punishment. Treat the body like a messenger instead of a problem to silence.

• Disconnection shows up in lifestyle patterns. Caffeine, nicotine, sugar, late nights, and escapism can become chronic stress loops.

• When you ignore subtle signals, the body “turns the volume up” through louder symptoms like burnout, chronic pain, or illness.

• Healing works better as a relationship. Listening builds trust and reduces the urge to override your needs.

• The body communicates through sensations, emotions, and discomfort. Learn the language instead of fighting it.

• Nervous system health impacts everything. Regulation supports sleep, digestion, energy, focus, and resilience.

• Holistic healing looks at layers. Physical habits, energy, beliefs, and subconscious programming can all influence outcomes.

• Mindset shapes biology. Prognosis is information, not destiny. Belief and meaning can affect healing behavior and results.

• Small daily choices matter. Water, rest, food, movement, and boundaries prevent “crisis mode” living.

• Try the 30-second pause. Notice one body sensation, ask “What do I need right now” and practice responding with care.

Pressure Creates Diamonds in AI Era with Michael T Dugan

In this episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, host Sayan sits down with Michael T Dugan to break down why “pressure creates diamonds” is not just a quote, it’s a mindset system for real life. Michael shares how AI driven disruption is amplifying uncertainty at work and at home, and why the real differentiator is not talent, it’s emotional regulation. You’ll hear a practical take on reframing stress into clarity, learning to love the unknown, and using small daily moments of awareness to build resilience over time. If you feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or stuck in survival mode, this conversation gives a grounded path back to steadiness.

About the Guest:

Michael T Dugan is the creator of the Becoming Diamond framework and the author of Turning Snowflakes into Diamonds. With 20,000+ hours training people in high pressure environments, he teaches emotional mastery, confidence under stress, and resilience in the age of AI.

Key Takeaways:

• Pressure becomes power when you reframe it as training, not punishment. This shift supports stress management, mental strength and resilient decision making under uncertainty.

• Modern anxiety is often fear of the unknown. Building comfort with uncertainty increases confidence, leadership performance and emotional stability in fast change environments.

• Emotional habits run on autopilot. Awareness is the first lever, acceptance is the second. Without both, growth stays theoretical not practical.

• “Snowflake vs diamond” is a metaphor for resilience. The goal is to use challenge to sharpen identity, not collapse into avoidance.

• Emotional regulation is a skill. When your mood depends on external events you stay reactive, when you self regulate you stay grounded.

• The body is a signal system. Posture, facial expression and body language influence hormones, which impacts calm, clarity and focus.

• Breath is a portable tool. Breath control can downshift stress fast and pull attention into the present moment.

• The brain follows repetition. Tiny daily reps of awareness compound over time, like exponential growth in personal development.

• Consciousness reduces separation. Understanding replaces judgment, which improves relationships, teamwork and communication.

• Resilience is built by practicing the unknown. Consistent exposure to discomfort creates emotional intelligence and long term inner peace.

Family Estrangement to Faith-Led Reconciliation with Ashley Kinkead

In this Inner Peace, Better Health episode, host Charu sits down with author Ashley Kinkead to unpack family estrangement, faith, forgiveness, and what reconciliation can look like after decades of silence. Ashley shares how 22 years of no contact with her father shifted through a Christ-centered 12-step recovery process, plus practical steps for rebuilding trust without pretending the past never happened. If you’re navigating parent-child conflict, generational wounds, boundaries, or the pressure to “fix it for the holidays,” this conversation lays out a realistic path forward that prioritizes inner peace, emotional clarity, and intentional relationship repair.

About the Guest:

Ashley Kinkead is the author of After the Locusts, a personal story focused on parent-child estrangement, spiritual recovery, and reconciliation. She speaks about forgiveness, rebuilding family relationships with healthier boundaries, and using structured recovery tools to move from isolation to healing.

Key Takeaways:

• Estrangement often stays hidden because people fear judgment, especially in faith communities, and many don’t even have language for what they’re living through.

• The first shift is ownership. Admit the relationship is broken and that control tactics do not work.

• Healing starts inside your “circle.” You can’t manage someone else’s behavior, only your response and growth.

• Faith can reshape forgiveness from “letting it slide” to releasing resentment so peace is possible.

• Reconciliation is not a reset to the old dynamic. It’s building a new relationship with new agreements.

• Inner peace can happen even if contact is not restored. Boundaries can still be healthy and holy.

• A Christ-centered 12-step program can provide structure, community, and accountability when you feel stuck.

• Practical repair can start with a letter. Ashley recommends including what you realized, learned, acknowledge today, and what you’re apologizing for.

• Breaking isolation matters. Bringing the issue into safe community reduces shame and creates options.

• If abuse is involved, safety and boundaries come first. Reconciliation should never mean returning to harm.

• Resources like After the Locusts can guide people who want a step-by-step path to bridge-building.

Break Trauma Patterns - Understanding Reenactments with Tony Iezzi

In this episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, host Sayan sits down with Tony Iezzi to unpack reenactments. Those unconscious emotional loops that make you overreact, repeat the same arguments in different relationships, and feel stuck in patterns you swear you “moved on” from. Tony explains how reenactments are triggered by themes like abandonment, mistrust, power, control, and feeling unseen. Not the surface-level event. He shares what 35 years inside a major hospital taught him: people often present a symptom, not the real issue. The conversation breaks down why these patterns hit hardest in adulthood, how avoidance keeps reenactments alive for decades, and what it actually takes to build new emotional habits that support mental health, relationships, and personal growth.

About the Guest:

Tony Iezzi spent 35 years working inside a major hospital observing human behavior under stress. His work focuses on reenactments, emotional themes, and practical strategies for building healthier habits. He also has a book that expands on these ideas, with his website as the best starting point.

Key Takeaways:

• Reenactments are unconscious emotional loops. You repeat them daily even if you do not notice them.

• The real trigger is usually the theme, not the event. Themes include abandonment, bullying, mistrust, authority, power, and control.

• Strong reactions often signal an old sensitivity getting activated. Your nervous system responds faster than your logic.

• What looks like an “adult problem” can be a childhood wound still running the script. If low self-worth started at 7 you have decades of practice reinforcing it.

• Hospitals reveal reenactments everywhere, not just in relationships. Even routine procedures can trigger fear, abandonment, or entrapment themes.

• People often treat symptoms while missing roots. Example: changing an external feature might not resolve an internal worth deficit.

• “Moving on” is not a mindset trick. Processing emotions and building new habits is the work.

• Avoidance is a growth killer. If you hide, numb, or stay silent the pattern repeats tomorrow, next year, and next decade.

• The goal is not perfection. The goal is awareness plus new behavior: speak the hurt, ask directly, set boundaries, and approach hard conversations.

• There is no shortcut. Reenactments do not end. You just get better at handling them with clarity and balance.
