In this episode, Tami Simon speaks with Zabie Yamasaki—founder of Transcending Trauma through Yoga, whose yoga-as-healing curriculum is now taught at over 50 universities including Stanford, Yale, and Johns Hopkins—about her new Sounds True book, Protect Your Energy: A Gentle Guide to Nurture Your Nervous System, Cultivate Rest, and Honor Your Needs. Drawing from her own journey through hypervigilance, burnout, and a series of panic attacks that landed her in the emergency room, Zabi brings both the science and the soul of nervous system healing. Together, Tami and Zabi explore: • Why burnout is so sneaky—and how we're constantly borrowing from tomorrow to get through today • The difference between managing your energy and managing your time—and why that distinction changes everything • What it means to "hold the default nervous system in the room"—and the hidden toll it takes on parents, teachers, healers, and leaders • How boundary work is nervous system work—and why lack of boundaries shows up in your body long before you name it as a boundary problem "Shapes of rest"—body-based practices that offer genuine restoration, not just collapse • Somatic self-consent: the embodied check-in practice that helps you navigate the gray zone between yes and no • Why protecting your energy right now isn't selfishness—it's resistance This is a conversation for everyone who keeps going even when their body is begging them to stop—and who needs permission, finally, to rest. #ZabieYamasaki #ProtectYourEnergy #NervousSystemHealing #TraumaInformedYoga #SoundsTrue #InsightsAtTheEdge #BurnoutRecovery #SomaticHealing Subscribe to Sounds True's YouTube Channel ► https://bit.ly/SubscribeSTYT Sounds True is a mission-driven learning and media company, and a recognized leader in wellbeing, personal growth, and spiritual transformation.
