About this listen
In this episode, Maddison explores post-burnout patterning, the often-unspoken ways burnout continues to live in the body, nervous system and subconscious long after the external circumstances have changed.
Drawing from her own lived experience of severe burnout, chronic fatigue, panic and identity loss, Maddison unpacks how burnout can leave a fear-based imprint that quietly turns into self-sabotage. This can show up as hyper-vigilance around energy, rigid boundaries, self-isolation, avoidance of success or visibility and using spiritual language to justify contraction rather than alignment.
This episode is especially for heart-led women who desire purpose, abundance, and meaningful work yet find themselves holding back out of fear of depletion or collapse.
Maddison reframes burnout not as a failure, but as an initiation - one that offers profound wisdom around self-care, discernment and nervous system safety. The real work, she shares, is learning how to integrate those lessons without letting fear run the show, so you can rebuild self-trust, capacity, and a sustainable relationship with energy, work, money, and life.
