Ep 26: The Biology of Burnout with Dr Vanessa Lee

What if self-care isn't about doing more, but about remembering who you are? In this episode, Dr. Vanessa Lee returns to The Healing Blueprint to explore why so many of us put ourselves last and what that does to our bodies. Together, we unpack the connection between chronic stress, cortisol, burnout, and the subtle ways our bodies let us know we've drifted too far from ourselves. This conversation goes beyond bubble baths and self-care checklists. We talk about reconnecting with what brings you joy, recognizing the early warning signs of burnout, and finding simple ways to support your nervous system throughout the day without adding more to an already overwhelming schedule. If you've been feeling exhausted, running on autopilot, or wondering why you don't quite feel like yourself anymore, this episode is a gentle reminder that your body isn't working against you—it's trying to guide you back.
