In this heartfelt episode of Breaking Up with Burnout, Tiffany Leader, therapist, burnout recovery coach, and founder of See the Wonder, explores the hidden cost of being the “forgotten” frontline worker—the one who keeps showing up, holding space, and pushing through… even when it hurts.

Inspired by conversations inside the Wonder Well Community, Tiffany unpacks:

* Why helpers, caregivers, and high achievers become invisible

* How over-functioning and proving our worth fuel burnout

* The nervous system toll of always being “the strong one”

* Capacity blindness and ignoring your body’s signals

* Why rest feels like failure—and how to reframe it

* The power of boundaries as a path to sustainability

If you’re a therapist, social worker, coach, healthcare provider, first responder, or simply someone who carries a lot for others, this episode will help you reconnect with your limits, your body, and your worth.

You are not weak for crashing.You’re exhausted from being strong for too long.

It’s time to remember yourself.

In this episode of Breaking Up With Burnout, Tiffany Leader breaks down what nervous system regulation really means—beyond the buzzword. She explores the science of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, why regulation is about flexibility (not constant calm), and how burnout and trauma can leave us stuck in survival mode. Tiffany shares real-life examples, body-based signs of stress, and practical, seasonal tools she uses personally and with clients—like breathwork, EFT tapping, co-regulation, and sensory support. This episode is an invitation to get curious about your own nervous system, normalize rest (especially in winter), and build a more compassionate relationship with stress on the path to breaking up with burnout.

Topics covered:

* Fight/flight vs. rest/digest

* Burnout, stress, and nervous system “stuckness”

* Body cues of dysregulation and calm

* Practical regulation tools & co-regulation

* Why small moments of support matter

✨ Take a breath, settle in, and explore what regulation looks like for you.
