Burnout can creep up on even the most high-performing women — sometimes we don’t even realise we’re on the edge until our bodies start screaming at us.

In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Heidi Lampard — Yoga Practitioner, Holistic Wellness Mentor, Tea Ceremony Facilitator, Retreat Leader, and mother of two. Heidi will also be joining us as a facilitator at the upcoming Exhale Retreat in October, sharing her wisdom, practices, and tools with attendees.

We dive deep into the challenges of burnout, particularly for high-performing female leaders and entrepreneurs who are conditioned to “push through” — often at the cost of their health, energy, and creativity. I share my own journey through burnout and adrenal fatigue, and Heidi opens up about her personal experience with anxiety, panic attacks, and adrenal fatigue while balancing corporate work, family life, and daily responsibilities.

She shares how discovering yoga, meditation, breathwork, and holistic wellness practices helped her heal, regulate her nervous system, and create a sustainable, balanced life — both professionally and personally.

In this episode, we explore:

• How to expand your capacity and resilience through simple, daily practices

• The importance of slowing down and creating space to hear your inner wisdom

• How mindful practices ripple into your relationships, decision-making, and overall well-being

• Practical tools you can start using immediately:

  • Short, adaptable pranayama (breathwork) exercises to reset your nervous system

  • Techniques to expand resilience and capacity, helping you manage life’s demands without spiralling

  • Ways to cultivate presence, clarity, and calm in your work, relationships, and home

  • How consistent mindfulness practices can create a ripple effect of calm with your loved ones

We also give an inside look at what attendees can expect from Heidi’s sessions at the Exhale Retreat:

• Daily morning yoga and meditation practices

• Pranayama (breathwork) sessions

• Sound journeys and yoga asana

This episode is a heartfelt reminder that retreats are not a luxury — they’re a necessity for high-performing women to reconnect with themselves, restore balance, and gain clarity in their lives and careers. Slowing down, pausing, and incorporating mindful practices can empower you to thrive without burning out.
