Burnout, Chinese Medicine, and the Year of the Fire Horse with Katie Brindle | E25
In this episode of P.S I Love Me, Lynda is joined by Katie Brindle, internationally renowned Chinese medicine practitioner, bestselling author, and founder of the award winning wellness brand The Hayo’u Method. Katie shares her journey from planning to train as an opera singer to discovering Chinese medicine after a life changing accident, and how that moment completely redirected her path.
Together, they explore what Chinese medicine teaches us about modern burnout, why so many of us feel “exhausted yet restless”, and how to meet the body where it is rather than forcing ourselves into “relaxation” when our nervous system is frazzled. Katie shares practical tools you can try immediately, including a simple breathing reset using a phone reminder, nervous system tapping, and movement techniques designed to discharge stress fast.
They also discuss the energy of the Year of the Fire Horse, and why big, bold momentum needs to be balanced with grounding practices to avoid running yourself into the ground.
