S3E2: When Burnout Lives in the Body, Not the Mind
In this episode, Carrie sits down with D’Layne Benson to unpack what’s really happening beneath chronic overwhelm, burnout, and the constant feeling of “doing too much but never enough.”
Drawing from her experience as a nurse and her work supporting women through nervous system regulation, D’Layne explains how over-functioning, people-pleasing, and perfectionism are not personality flaws, but physiological patterns shaped by stress, hormones, and survival.
Together, they explore why rest isn’t something to earn, how the body communicates long before it breaks down, and what it actually looks like to rebuild trust with your body instead of fighting it.
This conversation is grounding, honest, and deeply validating for anyone who’s been stuck in go-mode for too long.
Here's how to get in touch with D'Layne:
