On BizBlend with host Sana, Dr. Lizette Warner reframes burnout as a system failure, not a personal flaw. She contrasts “burning out” (being brilliant for too long) with “rusting out” (not challenged enough), then shows leaders how to diagnose stress, regulate their nervous system, and build boundaries that make success sustainable. From breathwork, humming, and micro-movement to using wearables intentionally (not as gadgets but as ongoing inputs), Lizette explains how she healed chronic stress and lost 57 pounds over three years—slowly and sustainably—by leading her health instead of chasing it. If you’ve ever wondered whether you can achieve without collapse, this conversation is a practical blueprint.

About the Guest:

Dr. Lizette Warner is a leadership strategist focused on trust, nervous-system regulation, and sustainable performance. Formerly a Chief Science Officer, she now helps leaders use data, diagnostics, and recovery rhythms to prevent burnout and scale impact.

Key Takeaways:

• Burnout vs. rust-out: Same spectrum, opposite ends—overdrive vs. under-challenge.

• System, not self: Burnout reflects missing psychological safety, unrealistic expectations, and no recovery cadence.

• Awareness first: Track signals (racing thoughts, breath, tension). Use wearables as inputs you review monthly/daily, not as jewelry.

• Regulate before you “mindset”: You can’t think your way out of dysregulation. Train the body, then the brain.

• Breathwork works: Start with longer exhales or box breathing (4-4-4-4) to influence the vagus nerve and shift state.

• Humming & singing: Simple vagal activators that ground the system; micro-movement and shaking help discharge stress in place.

• Personalized experiments: Run small daily tests, log what helps sleep, focus, and recovery; keep what works, drop what doesn’t.

• Slow, sustainable change: Lizette’s 57-lb loss over three years came after reducing chronic stress and stabilizing hormones—no crash tactics.

• Boundaries are strategy: Each “no” creates space for the right “yes”; ask, “What should come off my plate if I take this on?”

• Leaders model recovery: Promotion is easy; nervous-system expansion to hold the new level is the hard part—and the point.
