We explore Luisa’s unconventional journey from the high-pressure world of film and stunt coordination to becoming a leader in nature-based stress regulation. Drawing from her personal experience with burnout and “burn-on,” she shares how performance culture and internalized pressure often disguise themselves as ambition. We discuss the myth of positive stress and why even high-functioning individuals may be on the verge of collapse. Luisa explains how nature, silence, and the ability to embrace boredom are crucial yet often overlooked tools for resilience. She also unpacks the four drivers of stress and how modern society’s obsession with comparison, productivity, and optimization leaves little room for true self-care, which is not running to your next Yoga class. Together, we question the individual vs. systemic responsibility in addressing mental exhaustion and propose what workplaces and communities can do to foster healthier, more sustainable rhythms of work and life. The conversation is raw, real, and a powerful reminder that regenerative practices start within your mind and body and not on your calendar agenda 💡 HIGHLIGHTS of this Episode ✨ When resilience becomes rebellion: Why rest, boredom, and saying no are radical acts in a burnout culture. ✨ Nature as medicine: How forest time outperforms your wellness app. ✨ The dark side of “just functioning”: Why some people never collapse – and that’s a problem. ✨ From burnout to “burn-on”: How permanent hustle disguises itself as normal life. ✨ Stress is not your fault – but it’s your responsibility: Why the system needs fixing and so do your habits. 👋 ABOUT Luisa (she/her) Luisa supports businesses, organisations, and individuals in their journey towards greater resilience and self-care in everyday life.
