“I just need to pivot my life and my burnout will heal.”
Ever thought that?
I did… I pivoted and left a job in commercial mortgage brokering so that I could teach yoga. Burnout. Then I went to 1:1 work for OCD & Relationships. Burnout. Then I optimised my wellness. Burnout. Then my business model… Burnout.
This week on the podcast, I started busting 4 common myths about success that cause burnout. I’m joined by Hannah who is one of the only somatic nervous system coaching I can currently stand in the online space :)
We cover:
Why burnout often follows you if the pattern comes with you (scarcity, people-pleasing, fear, over-responsibility).
The “fight, flight, freeze… and pivot” loop that shapes big decisions.
A pre-pivot question: What might follow me into this next chapter that I want to shift now?
Meet Hannah:
After shutting down a multi-six-figure business due to life-threatening burnout and daily anxiety, Hannah O’Donovan rebuilt her work from alignment rather than survival. She is a Somatic Channel, Nervous System Specialist, and founder of the Untamed Divine Feminine™, helping women release anxiety-inducing ambition and create success that feels aligned, embodied and financially sustainable.
Today, with over 350 hours of trauma-informed facilitation and spiritual training and 8+ years of entrepreneurship experience, Hannah bridges nervous system science with embodied leadership and energy work. Guiding women who know they’re meant for more to transmute survival patterns into embodied power, so success no longer comes at the cost of their wellbeing. Her work supports women in building lives rooted in wealth, love, legacy, and unapologetic self-trust.
