Guest: Chelsy Bell Carpenter, former large-loss adjuster turned burnout recovery expert
Host: Brittany Harris, Sketch My Roof
Chelsy Bell Carpenter walked away from a 10 year insurance career in a single night, then discovered that at 35 her cells were aging as though she were in her 60s. She traces it back to a nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight mode for years, and she explains why a vacation or a long weekend will not fix burnout when your body will not let you rest. Chelsy also shares the Stabilization Method she teaches in her free Built to Last workshop: nervous system regulation, authentic communication, and workplace disciplines.
