When ambition collides with your humanity and the modern world offers no pause, burnout happens. But what if that collapse could become your turning point?

In this powerful episode of the House of Peregrine Podcast, Mickelle is joined by Alicia Ingruber, a burnout and somatic empowerment coach who helps sensitive, driven women heal, lead, and thrive without abandoning their wellbeing. Alicia shares the story of her own multi-year burnout, the quiet warning signs she missed, and the radical reset that led her to rebuild her life and her career from the body up.

Through their deeply resonant conversation, Mickelle and Alicia explore what it means to be a woman in a system designed for masculine rhythms, how burnout often masquerades as busyness or emotional fatigue, and why sensitivity is not a flaw but a finely-tuned gift. Together, they unpack the layers of leadership, nervous system regulation, and intuitive living that can lead to a richer, more sustainable life.

 You will Learn:

• What is Burnout Really? – What it actually feels like to collapse physically, emotionally, and energetically - and why it’s nothing about being tired or unwilling to work.
• The Power of Somatic Healing – How movement, breath, and body-based therapies unlock healing talk therapy can’t always reach.
• Sensitivity Is a Strength – Why caring deeply about your work or your family isn’t a liability, but a guidepost for creativity, leadership, and emotional intelligence.
• Honoring Women’s Bodies – The scientific and energetic reasons women need different environments, sleep, space, and leadership models.
• Life After Burnout – How Alicia’s collapse became her catalyst, and how she now guides others to thrive before or after the fall.
• Early Warning Signs – What to watch for in your body and behavior before burnout takes hold.

Burnout isn’t the end. Sometimes, it’s the beginning. But it is important that we continue to demystify and destigmatize this crippling way our body deals with us asking too much for too long.
