From Burnout to Embodied Leadership: Healing the Motherwound in Business

Written By Briony Victoria

Burnout isn’t always about poor time management—it’s often rooted in deeper wounds. For many women, the motherwound silently drives the cycle of over-giving, hustling for worth, and never feeling “enough.”

How the Motherwound Shows Up at Work

  • Saying yes when your body screams no.

  • Working twice as hard for half the recognition.

  • Struggling to rest because guilt creeps in.

  • Building businesses that replicate patriarchal extraction instead of life-giving flow.

The Business Cost
These patterns cost more than energy—they cost creativity, clarity, and sustainable growth. Leaders trapped in burnout cycles often plateau, sabotage expansion, or collapse altogether.

The Shift: Reclaiming the Inner Mother
When we re-mother ourselves somatically, we learn to create from grounded authority, not survival. Leadership becomes regenerative, not extractive.
