Burnout can hit hard, sometimes showing up as panic attacks, anxiety, and complete overwhelm — even when, from the outside, everything seems “perfect.”

In this episode, burnout psychologist and coach Kim Metzen shares her personal journey from high-achieving corporate life to feeling completely disconnected from herself — and how she rebuilt a life aligned with her health, energy, and purpose.

We explore:

  • The signs of burnout you might be ignoring
  • How over-identifying with work can mask low self-worth
  • Techniques to calm the nervous system and reconnect with your body
  • Simple, practical tools to navigate stress, anxiety, and overwhelm


Kim’s story is a reminder that even the most “successful” lives can become unaligned — and that transformation is possible when you listen to your body and take courageous action.
