You’re Not Lazy — You’re Depleted: The Truth About Women’s Exhaustion

Description:

In this episode, I’m uncovering the real reasons behind women’s exhaustion. Tune in to discover why women feel depleted, not lazy. 

 

Key Topics:

  • The difference between being lazy and being truly depleted

  • How chronic stress, overworking, and constant caregiving create the “perfect storm” for burnout

  • The impact of hormonal changes (adrenals, thyroid, estrogen, progesterone) and nervous system dysregulation on women’s health

  • Why traditional advice like “just get more sleep” often misses the mark

  • The cultural shift that celebrates overworking and labels rest as laziness

  • The importance of listening to your body’s signals and trusting your own experience

  • Practical strategies for healing: nervous system regulation, breathwork, morning sunlight, strength training, and micro-moments of rest

  • Why “less is more” when you’re in repair mode, and how to build resilience over time

  • Encouragement for women in perimenopause, menopause, and all stages of life to reclaim their energy and well-being
