Train Your Calm

Your calm shouldn’t be  a side hustle.

With early mornings, packed schedules and constant demands - stress sneaks in before you even notice. It’s time to hit the pause button and reset your mind before burnout takes over.

In Collaboration with Paula Liub – Burnout Expert & Consultant

WHAT LIES BENEATH

Stress Is Just the Tip of the Iceberg

Every deadline you meet and meeting you attend is just the iceberg’s tip—below the surface, burnout is gathering force.

WORK STRESS

Often noticed or complained about first:

"I feel irritated by everything." +

Chronic stress affects emotional regulation, making you more reactive to everyday situations.

(source: APA, 2021)

"I'm just tired all the time." +

No matter how much you sleep, your energy never resets. Chronic stress suppresses deep sleep and increases night-time cortisol.

(source: NIH, 2020)

"I can't focus anymore." +

Stress hormones impair working memory and concentration abilities.

(source: Harvard Medical, 2022)

"I'm always 'on', even when I'm off." +

Your nervous system remains in fight-or-flight mode, unable to switch to rest and digest.

(source: Mayo Clinic, 2023)

Elevated cortisol = silent burnout +

Chronically elevated cortisol levels lead to systemic inflammation and burnout symptoms.

(source: Journal of Stress Research, 2022)

Chronic nervous system dysregulation +

The autonomic nervous system becomes stuck in sympathetic dominance, affecting all body systems.

(source: Polyvagal Institute, 2023)

Emotional disconnection +

Chronic stress can lead to emotional numbing and disconnection from feelings and relationships.

(source: Psychology Today, 2022)

Reduced Heart Rate Variability (HRV) +

Chronic stress reduces HRV, indicating poor cardiovascular health and resilience.

WORK STRESS

Often noticed or complained about first:

"I can't focus anymore." +

You're constantly jumping between tasks, rereading emails, and forgetting what you just opened. 
76% of employees say stress affects their ability to concentrate. (source: APA, 2023)

(source: NIH, 2020)

"I'm always 'on', even when I'm off." +

You scroll LinkedIn at midnight. You check emails during lunch. Your nervous system never fully switches off.

(source: NIH, 2020)

"I'm just tired all the time." +

No matter how much you sleep, your energy never resets. Chronic stress suppresses deep sleep and increases night-time cortisol. (source: NIH, 2020)

(source: NIH, 2020)

"I feel irritated by everything." +

Even small things – like a Slack ping – feel overwhelming.

(source: NIH, 2020)

Reduced Heart Rate Variability (HRV) +

Low HRV is a sign that your body isn’t adapting to stress — a key predictor of burnout and mental fatigue.

(source: NIH, 2020)

Elevated cortisol = silent burnout +

Your sympathetic (‘fight-or-flight’) system is in overdrive, and your parasympathetic (‘rest-and-digest’) can't keep up.

(source: NIH, 2020)

Emotional disconnection +

You stop caring. You feel numb. You’re not sad — you just feel... flat.

(source: NIH, 2020)

Chronic nervous system dysregulation +

Long-term cortisol spikes are linked to brain fog, immune suppression, and emotional blunting.

SAFE ZONE 0/9

Just a few warning signs - keep up your self-care routine to stay balanced.

Vagus Nerve: your built-in stress shield

Resilience isn’t about pushing harder - it’s about training your body. To battle stress, you need true stress resilience: the ability to recover quickly when life accelerates. 

 At the center of this recovery system is your vagus nerve, a communication super-highway linking your brain to your heart, lungs and gut. When it’s firing properly, your parasympathetic response keeps your heart rate, breathing and inflammation in balance. Under chronic pressure, however, that pathway goes quiet and you stay locked in “fight-or-flight” mode.  

That’s where Pulsetto comes in. Oncep laced on the neck, it delivers gentle, 4-minute pulses to reactivate your vagus nerve- retraining your nervous system to reset faster and stay calm under fire.

Paula Liub x Povilas Sabaliauskas on Recovery, Resilience & Nervous System Healing

"Depression is not wanting to do anything. Burnout is wanting to do nothing."

Burnout is one of the most misunderstood struggles of our time. We call it “just stress,” we confuse it with depression, and we push through it, until our bodies force us to stop.

In this powerful conversation, burnout coach Paula Liub and Pulsetto CEO Povilas Sabaliauskas break down what burnout really is and why so many of us miss the warning signs.

The difference between stress, depression, and true burnout – and why labeling it wrong can keep you stuck for years.
The hidden early signals: from irritability to losing joy in things you love.
The guilt trap: why ambitious, sensitive, and neurodivergent people often ignore their limits until it’s too late.
The way out: nervous system regulation. Paula shares how she hit rock bottom herself, then rebuilt her energy, confidence, and clarity through daily tools, mindfulness, and new routines. Today, she helps others do the same.

At the heart of recovery is your nervous system. When it’s stuck in overdrive, no amount of willpower works. That’s where Pulsetto comes in, giving your body the signal to calm down, heal, and reset.

Burnout isn’t the end of your story. With the right tools, it can be the turning point.
