This episode is part of my special mini-series with Dr. Lucy Caratti: How the Medical System is Failing Women in Perimenopause.

In Episode 2, Burnout in Midlife - When Stress Meets Perimenopause, we unpack why burnout hits so hard at this stage of life. Too often, women are told their exhaustion is just hormones or simply the reality of getting older, but the truth is far more layered.

Decades of people-pleasing, over-giving, and pushing through collide with declining hormonal buffers and a nervous system that has been running in 'survival mode' for far too long.

Resulting in deep depletion, irritability, and despair, not because women are weak or incapable, but because the old survival strategies simply stop working.

What’s needed now isn’t more pushing, but a shift toward boundaries, discernment, and aligning with what the body can truly hold.
