episode Not Built for Burnout: Somatics and Sustainable Success, with Lauren Dike | S2, E6 artwork

Not Built for Burnout: Somatics and Sustainable Success, with Lauren Dike | S2, E6

Burnout is not a mark of personal failure. It is usually the body’s honest response to systems that ask people to keep producing while ignoring what their nervous system is trying to say. In “Not Built for Burnout: Somatics and Sustainable Success,” Lisa Hurley welcomes Lauren Dike, Performance Consultant, Somatic Coach, founder of Harmonna, and creator of The Body-Based Guide to Surviving Modern Work. Together, they will explore what sustainable success can look like when the body is included in the conversation. Lauren brings a powerful blend of finance, elite athletics, organizational culture, and trauma-educated somatic work to help people understand how burnout, disengagement, conflict, shutdown, and overperformance often begin in the nervous system. This conversation will hold both the problem and the possibility: the real cost of modern work, especially for Black women, and the practical ways people can begin to return to themselves with more clarity, care, boundaries, joy, and self-trust. You will learn: * How somatics can help people heal burnout, stress, and workplace survival patterns * The difference between somatic practices and Somatic Experiencing * Why life-work balance is not enough without nervous system safety * How rest, joy, self-love, and boundaries support sustainable success * Why Black women deserve tools that honor both their softness and their strength Join Lisa and Lauren for a grounded, practical conversation about work, the body, burnout, and what it means to build success in a way your body can cope with. 💚 Enjoying Space To Exhale? 🎧 Listen, follow and rate on Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/3Nsobpd64jZdTXOqDO5E6L?si=67b5bd60abb44ed6&nd=1&dlsi=68f6d3d94a1844e0] 🎧 Listen, follow, rate, and review on Apple [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/space-to-exhale-with-lisa-hurley/id1812994886] 🎧 Listen, follow, and rate on Audible [https://www.audible.com/podcast/Space-To-Exhale-with-Lisa-Hurley/B0F7R24GWQ] ▶️ Watch, subscribe, and comment on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@SpaceToExhale] 📤 Share your favorite episode with a friend who needs a little space to exhale 😊 🙏🏾 Get The Gentle Breath Newsletter [https://space-to-exhale-book.kit.com/a8e5abbdd5] The Gentle Breath is Lisa Hurley's Sunday newsletter featuring affirmations, reflections, wellbeing resources, podcast updates, and gentle encouragement for living a soft, centered, serene life.
