In this episode of Your Time To Grow, Charlie is joined by Laura Wyatt, breathwork and health coach, and founder of Loving Living Well, for a grounded and eye-opening conversation about burnout; what it really looks like, why so many people miss the early signs, and how to rebuild resilience in a way that feels sustainable, nourishing, and actually doable.
Laura describes burnout as a slow, creeping loss of balance, something that often goes unnoticed until life grinds to a halt.
Together, Charlie and Laura explore:
✨ The early warning signs we often dismiss: poor sleep, brain fog, emotional flatness, social withdrawal, over-cleaning as control, and sensitivity to stressors like caffeine.
✨ Why burnout hides in plain sight and why it often takes someone else’s observation before we’re ready to acknowledge it.
✨ Redefining resilience as recovery and nervous system regulation, not pushing through or wearing busyness as a badge of honour.
✨ The holistic habits that support genuine energy renewal: nutrition, movement, connection, rest, hobbies, and the practices that keep us grounded.
✨ How breathwork can transform wellbeing, from shifting the nervous system into safety to creating more presence, clarity, and calm.
✨ The values shift that follows burnout, moving away from external achievement and towards quality of life, alignment, and internal steadiness.
✨ The cultural conditioning we must unlearn: multitasking, self-sacrifice, over-functioning, “doing it all,” and ignoring our own needs.
Laura also shares simple, accessible tools for listeners who may be quietly burning out right now, including her powerful reminder to just stop, rest without guilt, and let your nervous system breathe.
If you’ve ever felt stretched thin, stuck in survival mode, or suspicious that the constant busyness you’re living isn’t sustainable, this episode will help you recognise what’s happening and take gentle, meaningful steps back towards balance.
