✨ 2026 is calling… and it’s asking one big question:
Where is your fire?

In Episode 40 of Ramblings of a Busy Mind, I sit down with bioenergetic wellness pioneer Dr. Michelle Greenwell for a deep, honest, and expansive conversation about healing beyond the surface.

Burnout doesn’t live in just one place — and healing doesn’t either.

We explore:
✨ The 5 Levels of Bioenergetic Wellness (and why nutrition alone isn’t enough)
✨ 2026: The Year of the Fire Horse — moving from shedding to soaring
✨ The rise of the “neuro-spicy” spectrum and what it means for stress, creativity, and resilience
✨ Why group synergy accelerates healing
✨ How everyday moments can become a Transformation Taxi

This clip hits home if you’re standing at a crossroads — feeling the spark come back, unsure of the destination, but finally excited about the journey again.

Because sometimes burnout isn’t the end…
It’s the moment your next evolution begins.

Is your personality really you… or a survival strategy your body learned to stay safe?

If you have a busy mind that won’t shut off—no matter how much therapy, meditation, or “doing the work” you try—this conversation might land deeply.

🎙 Ramblings of a Busy Mind – EP 39
Is Your Personality a Survival Mechanism? Somatic Healing for Burnout & Chronic Illness

In this episode, I’m joined by Denise Elysa, Somatic Inquiry Practitioner and Energy Healer, to explore how chronic stress, burnout, and illness can lock the nervous system into survival mode—and why healing doesn’t always come from pushing harder.

✨ About this clip: Find Your Yes
One of the most powerful skills for burnout recovery is learning how a true yes and a true no feel in your body.
Not in your head.
Not from obligation.
But from your nervous system.

There is no one-size-fits-all path to healing.
Different practitioners. Different modalities. Different rhythms.
Your body already knows what fits—you just have to learn how to listen.

If you’ve ever identified with being the “good one,” the one who pushes through, over-gives, or fawns to stay safe… this episode gently peels back those layers and offers a new way forward—through somatic awareness, individualized healing, and aggressive rest.

Because burnout doesn’t need more effort—
it needs permission to pause.

01/05/2026

The day I spoke about positive thinking… was the day my cat passed.

For a moment, that stopped me.
I questioned my authenticity.
How do positivity and grief live in the same space?

And then I realized something important:
They can — and they often do.

Grief doesn’t cancel resilience.
Sadness doesn’t erase growth.
And being able to find meaning doesn’t mean bypassing pain.

I miss him deeply. I still tear up.
But I didn’t disappear for weeks the way I once would have.
I could sit with myself, breathe, ground, and slowly return to life.

That’s not forcing positivity.
That’s capacity.

Burnout taught me how fragile I once was — how one loss, one shock, one hard moment could completely knock me off my feet.
And healing taught me something else:
You can feel fully and stay connected to yourself.

Grief is personal. There’s no right timeline.
But if you can find even one gentle truth, one small sense of peace within it, something begins to shift.

I’m sharing this for anyone who’s navigating loss, burnout, or emotional overwhelm and wondering why it feels different now — or why it feels so heavy.

If this resonates, you’re not alone
And if you ever want a quiet space to reflect, I’m here — no fixing, no pressure.

Go shine your light. Even softly counts.

Overwhelmed in the moment? Try grounding—before your mind spirals.

Burnout doesn’t always show up as exhaustion. Sometimes it’s the busy mind that won’t shut off, the nervous system stuck on high alert, or feeling emotionally flooded for “no obvious reason.”

In Episode 39 of Ramblings of a Busy Mind, I’m joined by Denise Elysa, Somatic Inquiry Practitioner and Energy Healer, to explore a powerful question:
✨ What if your personality isn’t who you are—but a survival mechanism?

In this clip, Denise shares simple grounding techniques for instant calm, including:
• Anchoring your energy when overwhelm hits
• Checking: Is this my energy—or am I absorbing someone else’s?
• Reconnecting with safety in the body, not just the mind

We go deeper into:
🔹 Burnout & chronic stress
🔹 Somatic healing vs. talk therapy
🔹 The fight-or-flight loop
🔹 “Good Girl” / fawn responses
🔹 Why Aggressive Rest may be the missing piece

If you’ve been doing all the right things—therapy, meditation, self-care—and still feel exhausted, disconnected, or stuck… this conversation flips the script.

I’m proud of you — for coping, for dealing, and for wanting to move forward

This little ramble from the beach felt important to share.
That quiet space between Christmas and New Year can be tender.
The rush is over, the light is low, routines are off… and for many people (myself included), seasonal affective disorder, burnout symptoms, and nervous system fatigue show up loud and clear.

When the days are grey and sunlight is scarce, energy drops.
Motivation fades.
Focus gets fuzzy.
You’re not broken — your nervous system is asking for support.

What helps me is awareness, responsibility (thank you, dog walks 🐾), and intentional regulation — light exposure, hydration, breath, and gentle structure. Not pushing. Not forcing. Just supporting my system back into balance.

If you’re navigating:
• burnout recovery
• chronic stress or overwhelm
• seasonal low mood
• nervous system dysregulation
• brain fog or exhaustion

You are not alone — and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

✨ This is exactly the work I do through burnout mentoring, nervous system regulation, bioenergetic wellness, and clarity calls — helping stressed, worn-down hearts reconnect with their energy, rhythm, and resilience in a grounded, judgment-free way.

👇 Tell me in the comments:
What helps you when your energy dips this time of year?

And if you’re ready to gently reset and start the new year with more steadiness and clarity, book a Clarity Call (link in bio).
Let’s find what your system actually needs right now.

Go shine your light.
I know you can get back on your feet — and I’m cheering you on

🎄Happy Holidays🎄

I just want to tell you how proud I am of you. Truly.

2025 asked a lot of you. Some days you held it together; other days you just got through. Both count. You didn’t quit on yourself, and that matters more than you think.

As 2026 comes in, I hope it brings lighter days, small wins that add up, and a few of those quiet wishes finally finding their way to you.

No pressure to become a “new you.” Just more ease, more calm, and more moments that feel right.

Season’s Greetings.

You’ve come a long way — don’t forget that. 💛
