Body Wisdom & Burnout Recovery with Claire Dew
Or listen on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Wherever You Pod
Burnout doesn’t just happen overnight. It’s a slow build—one missed signal after another. But what if your body has been trying to tell you all along? What if tuning into your body’s whispers could help you prevent the crash before it even begins?
In this episode of The Sensitive Professionals Podcast, I’m joined by Claire Dew, Integrative Health, Nutrition, and Life Coach, and mind-body practitioner. Claire’s own experience of burnout led her to discover the power of body intelligence—how recognising the physical signs of emotional overwhelm can be a game-changer for resilience and well-being.
We’re talking about:
Understanding the link between emotions and physical sensations
Why burnout is often a body-first experience
The role of the Polyvagal Theory in stress resilience
Grounding techniques to help you stay present and balanced
How to create rituals that support—not suffocate—your energy levels
If you’ve ever felt like you’re just one bad week away from complete overwhelm, this conversation is for you.

About your host
Hi, I’m Teresa—career coach, ex-corporate insider, and proud sensitive professional.
After 20+ years in high-pressure roles—often as the only woman in the room, quietly absorbing everything while others talked over each other—I know what it’s like to feel out of place in environments that prize boldness over nuance and speed over substance.
But here’s what I discovered: sensitivity wasn’t a weakness—it was my greatest advantage.
Now, I help ambitious, sensitive professionals like you turn struggles into strengths and build careers that feel as good as they look—without burnout, bravado, or trying to be someone you’re not.
