Burnout Recovery, Anxiety Relief & Nervous System Healing for High-Achieving Women | The Journey of an Awakening Spirit: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Kathleen M. Flanagan
You're the one everyone leans on. The strong one. The one who holds it all together until you're lying awake at 2am wondering why success feels so empty, and why your body won't let you rest even when nothing's technically wrong. This isn't burnout in the way you've heard it talked about before. It's not a scheduling problem or a boundaries workshop. It's your nervous system, your spirit, and your soul all quietly asking for something different. Hosted by Kathleen M. Flanagan, #1 bestselling author, transformational coach, and Corporate Vision's 2025 Transformational Coach of the Year, this show blends 40+ years of lived and professional experience in trauma healing, nervous system regulation, and spiritual awakening into conversations that go beneath the surface. Kathleen speaks openly from her own journey through silent suffering and disconnection, into a life reconnected to purpose, presence, and peace and she'll help you find your way there too. Each week, you'll get real tools for anxiety relief and nervous system healing, honest talk about what high-functioning burnout actually costs a woman spiritually and emotionally, and permission, real permission, to stop surviving and start living.
