Listen "Can Somatic Exercises Really Help You Beat Burnout, Chronic Stress and Pain ? with Dr. Danielle Griffin"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, we get real about burnout, chronic stress and “pushing through” pain until the body finally crashes. Dr. Danielle Griffin . tech speaker, award winning author and somatic awareness pioneer . breaks down how subtle, intentional somatic exercises can calm your nervous system, lower stress and ease chronic pain without another intense workout on your to do list.
She shares her own pandemic burnout story . juggling grief, work, parenting and entrepreneurship until her body forced a hard reset. Then she explains how breathwork, micro pauses and gentle movement can help high achievers reset their stress response, sleep better and actually become more productive and present. If you feel exhausted but still performing, this conversation will hit home and show you a more sustainable, body led way forward.
About the Guest :
Dr. Danielle Griffin is a tech speaker, award winning author and a leading voice in somatic awareness. After burning out while balancing a doctorate, full time work, business, parenting and grief, she rebuilt her life using somatic exercises, hypnotherapy and nervous system work. Today she helps high performers and people living with chronic pain reconnect with their bodies through breath, gentle movement and awareness practices so that stress, sleep and performance improve from the inside out. She is the author of “Somatic Exercise Made Simple.”
Key Takeaways:
Somatic exercise is not another “grind at the gym” plan. It is a sequence of breath, awareness and gentle movement that helps your nervous system downshift from survival mode into safety.
Traditional workouts on low sleep and high stress can backfire, raising cortisol and injury risk. Somatic sessions can sometimes replace or precede a workout so your body gets what it actually needs.
A simple 90 second pause with deep, slow breathing can lower physical tension, regulate breathing patterns and start to calm chronic stress during the workday.
Building body awareness helps you be specific about pain . location, quality and triggers . so doctors, therapists and coaches can actually target the real problem.
High achievers often use busyness to avoid feeling grief, stress and overwhelm. Somatic practices create space to process emotions instead of carrying them in the body as tight shoulders, jaw pain, headaches or insomnia.
Over time, somatic awareness reduces emotional reactivity. Relationships improve because you are less depleted, more regulated and able to respond rather than snap or shut down.
Somatic work is highly personalized. You are not just following a class script, you are building your own daily micro practices based on your stress patterns, triggers and energy.
