Episode 9: When Summer Doesn’t Feel Like a Break: Burnout, Invisible Labour & Why You’re Still So Tired
If summer was supposed to be the season you finally exhaled, but instead you're feeling more burnt out than ever, this episode is for you.
We’re pulling back the curtain on what’s really going on during this season of supposed ease — from the invisible labour so many women carry, to why your nervous system still feels constantly "on." If you're feeling snappy, struggling to be present, or like you're missing the moments you longed for… you're not alone.
In this episode, Dr. SaraLou dives into:
Why summer burnout is a real phenomenon (and not your fault)
The internal and external pressures high-achieving women face — even when out of office
The nervous system lens: why you can’t just “switch off”
Small but powerful ways to begin restoring calm and presence this week
A reminder that you don’t have to do this alone
