The Body Keeps the Score Card | Katie Delaney on Burnout, Boundaries, and Building Back

What does burnout actually feel like when you are the person everyone else relies on? In this episode of Be the Ripple, Sabine speaks with Katie Delaney, a functional medicine certified health coach, author, and former pharmaceutical industry leader, about the slow accumulation of stress that ends in a reckoning and the quiet, sustainable process of rebuilding from the inside out.

Katie shares her story from a 2019 emergency room visit through the demands of managing global clinical trials during a pandemic, to the emotional breakdown that finally opened the door to change. She talks about what it means to set a boundary as protection rather than limitation, why sleep is a biological necessity rather than a luxury, and how a simple vision board became the beginning of a five-year transformation.

This episode is for the high-performing woman who is showing up completely while quietly running out of herself. It is for anyone who has ever worn exhaustion like a badge of honor and is ready to consider a different way.
