Meet Maria Marcano | Burnout Repair Coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Maria Marcano and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Maria, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My brand started as a response to my personal journey in trying to repair the physical and emotional damage that career burnout had caused in my life. Shortly after being diagnosed with major hormonal issues that piled to the other symptoms like poor sleep, weight imbalances, anxiety, and more I could see that no one was looking for the connecting issue. I asked questions to the health experts I was seeing and it seemed like they could not make “sense” of why this was happening, they just offered me symptom relief. But I knew these were not random issues. It took years of studying to finally put it all together: becoming a health coach, trauma-educated yoga teacher, breathwork facilitator, somatic coach, all to find my answers. Once I dismantled the root cause I knew that most high achieving women could never spend the time and money I did to recover. So I tied all these methodologies together to share what I have found. I could not let other drive women continue in the symptom covering merry-go-round. I know the solution was in the understanding and sculpting of our nervous system responses. But no one is talking about this! So I became the one person pointing at burnout as a symptom of commulitive mini traumas and a mindset stuck in survival. I also started to share a practical way to move all the energy trapped in the nervous system so career women can function differently and regain all their vitality.

What should our readers know about your business?
My mission is to help driven women who are seeing their vitality dwindling down due to years of solely depending on their work ethics and intellect. My job is to help them redefine success and their relationship to work and self-value. I am a burnout repair coach to high-achieving and successful career women who are gifted with the talent of being self-starters and strong, but who are now seeing a decline in their physical health, cognisant capabilities, and emotional peace.

The women I help are not looking to relax, take vacations or yoga classes then dive into work again and again. They’ve done that and they know it isn’t working. The hard part of what I do is that these talented women are being bombarded with messages that are confusing. They need to be “Sheroes” and do it all and at the same time be feminine and graceful. Trying to get past all that noise to get women to seek answers within has been a challenge. But for each empowered leader that breaks through and goes on to live a better life, I get the fulfillment of changing the female professional world as the ripple effect starts.

A huge lesson I’ve learned after helping so many women is that the current work and business paradigm only reinforces that their value is tied to productivity. This needs to change. And on the other end, the relaxation and entertainment market tells them that all they need is a glass of wine, chocolate, Netflix, clothing, a vacation, or a spa treatment. I sometimes feel like David and Goliath!

But there is a clear awakening happening. I call the women that are coming to do this work “The advancing women” because they are moving the needle for everyone else as they progress. In my coaching, I have developed a way to help them succeed at work and in life without breaking their body and relationships and the secret is within their very makeup. Helping these women use their nervous system and somatic gifts is absolutely empowering and groundbreaking.

I do not promote burnout as a workspace, or stress management issue, I am looking at it from the root cause which is tied to nervous system patterns and belief systems. Once you can unlock your own internal reversal technology using your physiology then you get sustainable results. That’s when the other options are viable, including mindset and mindfulness. The body does keep a score! and we must even it out to overcome burnout tendencies and repair the damage. That’s how I feel we can change the workspace for millions of women

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I’m grateful to every yoga teacher I ever had, my teacher Max Strom, coaches like David Bayer and Danielle LaPorte, and Byron Katie. The priceless research of Dr. Peter Levine, Dr. Bessel Van Der Klok and Dr. Joe Dispenza, and every client or student that has courageously come to me seeking a way to become a new woman that experiences success without sacrificing her life.
