Still Saying Yes: The Burnout We Intuitively Know but Keep Denying

This episode is for the ones still smiling through the ache, denying what their body already knows.
We’re diving into a truth most of us quietly carry: the wound of burnout masked as productivity — and the ancestral wisdom that reminds us that rest is not a reward, but a right.

Patricia shares a deeply personal journey through the cycles of burnout, chronic overgiving, and the subtle ways we perform “I’m fine” while our spirit leaks life force. From early overachievement to the breaking point on a roadside outside Phoenix, this episode walks through the shadow of Gene Key 40 — Denial — and emerges with the gift of Resolve.

You’ll also hear how Human Design illuminated the root of it all — a Manifestor with an undefined Sacral center caught in a world of endless doing — and how Indigenous wisdom offered a path to healing that honors rest as ceremony and softness as sacred.
This is more than a story. It’s a reclamation.

Whether you’ve whispered “I can’t do this anymore” or pushed through with a brave face one too many times, this one’s for you.
