The goal of this show is to help high-achieving women recognize the signs of burnout before it costs them their health, their relationships, and their sense of self and to guide them back into a nervous system that feels safe, a spirit that feels alive, and a life that finally feels like their own.
Kathleen M. Flanagan is a Nervous System Healing & Burnout Recovery Coach. She specializes in helping high-achieving women move out of survival mode and into soulful alignment, drawing on 40+ years of experience as a transformational coach, bestselling author, and Corporate Vision's 2025 Transformational Coach of the Year.
Burnout Recovery & Nervous System Healing for High-Achieving Women | The Journey of an Awakening Spirit will deliver honest conversations, real nervous system tools, and soul-level insight into how to recognize high-functioning burnout, regulate a dysregulated nervous system, and move through the spiritual awakening that often follows.
If you're the one everyone leans on, always strong, always holding it together, quietly wondering why success feels empty, then you are in the right place.
This podcast will provide valuable insight for high-achieving women, entrepreneurs, executives, caregivers, and anyone who has mastered surviving and is ready to learn how to live, offering real support for burnout recovery, nervous system healing, anxiety relief, and spiritual awakening.
