Johanneke Kodde: Why the first signs of burnout could be hiding in your holiday sickness

Alexandria Monk — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 23:01:13 GMT

Burnout doesn't always arrive as a breakdown. Sometimes it shows up as getting sick the moment you finally go on holiday, sleep that never feels restorative, headaches that keep coming back, or pain that refuses to leave.

Dr Johanneke Kodde breaks down the early warning signs your body may already be sending and why paying attention to physical and emotional signals matters.

We also get into Johanneke's own turning point - the burnout, the unraveling of old success metrics and the shift from striving to a more sustainable, self-aware way of living. She shares what changed after rethinking work, motherhood, marriage, exercise and even menopause - and why she now believes many women need permission to slow down before their bodies force them to.

As the Body Mind Soul Doctor, Johanneke works with people to understand the messages their symptoms are sending. Her work bridges physical health, emotional wellbeing, and the deeper patterns that shape how we live, recover, and relate to ourselves.

Johanneke will be appearing at Holistic Her - Rise, Root and Re-define taking place on 8 and 9 September at Scorrier House in Cornwall.

Alexandria Monk — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 22:34:46 GMT

With more than 25 years in education and 18 years as a solo entrepreneur, Amy Jones is a business mentor, yoga teacher, facilitator and founder of Amy Jones Mentoring.
