Burnout isn’t just exhaustion — for many women, it’s physical pain, resentment, pressure, and feeling like there’s never enough time to take care of yourself while caring for everyone else. After a sold-out community event on women and burnout, we’re continuing the conversation here.

In this episode, physiotherapist Kate Powell returns to Camp Conversations to unpack what we learned from a room full of women navigating stress, caretaking, identity shifts, and physical breakdown. Kate works closely with women who come to her not knowing they’re burned out — only that their bodies are sending warning signs they can’t ignore.

• Why so many women experience physical symptoms before realizing they’re burned out

• The pressure for “60-minute workouts” — and why all-or-nothing thinking is hurting women

• How tiny, 10-second movements can build strength, resilience, and mobility during busy seasons

• The connection between posture, psychology, and shrinking yourself when life feels heavy

• How repetitive movement patterns (running, biking, gym routines) can weaken other muscles and worsen burnout signals

• Practical ways to integrate sneaky, supportive movement into caregiving, commuting, and everyday life

• How communities, gyms, and friends can support burned-out mothers and caregivers

Women aren’t burning out because they’re weak — they’re burning out because they’re carrying too much without the support, space, or sustainable practices they need. This episode brings compassion, clarity, and doable steps to help you reconnect with your body and your spark.
