Back to EpisodesEnergy Leaks, Reigniting Your Life Force & Learning to Trust Your Body Again After Burnout
Description
In this expansive solo episode, Hillary dives deep into a conversation around burnout, energetic misalignment, and the difference between rest as avoidance vs. rest as regeneration. Sharing her personal journey as a Projector who's experienced burnout at the deepest levels — from hospital visits to losing her cycle — she reflects on how she reclaimed her vitality not by doing less, but by doing what matters.
We explore:
- Why most of us fear burning out (even when we’re not doing what we love)
- The pressure to prove yourself through productivity — and what to replace it with
- The energetic leaks draining your life force (and how to reclaim your power)
- When rest is resistance and when it becomes avoidance
- How aligning with your true desires creates energy, rather than depleting it
- Why slowing down on what isn’t yours allows you to fasten up on what is
- The nuance of navigating your body’s energy as a non-sacral being
- Questions to ask when you're unclear on your next move
- How inspiration, devotion and desire point to your path of least resistance
This isn’t about hustle culture or bypassing the body's wisdom. This is about trusting yourself more than the noise, fear or old burnout wounds — and giving yourself permission to come alive again.
