This episode is Part 4 of the Sacred Interruption series, where Johanna explores the 5 stages of burnout recovery and how to build sustainable success without sacrificing your health.

In Stage 4 of burnout recovery, The Divine Mess, rest doesn’t feel peaceful. Instead, it can feel frustrating, overwhelming, and even infuriating. This stage often brings up grief, anger, and suppressed emotions as your nervous system starts to release what it’s been holding onto during burnout.

If you’ve ever tried to rest but felt more stressed, anxious, or agitated instead of calm, this episode will explain why. You’ll learn:

🌿 Why rest can feel so uncomfortable during burnout recovery

🌿 How the nervous system healing process triggers emotional release

🌿 Why the “Divine Mess” is a critical step in true recovery and long-term resilience

The Divine Mess may feel chaotic, but it’s where deep emotional healing from burnout begins. If you’re working on recovering from burnout, breaking free from constant productivity, and creating sustainable success, this episode will give you clarity and hope.
