Burnout, Cortisol, and Priorities, Oh My!
Description
EP526. If you've been feeling exhausted, wired at the wrong times, or like you're one meltdown away from Googling "is it burnout or just motherhood?"... this one's for you.
In today’s solo episode, I give you the Coles Notes version of the latest Huberman Lab episode on cortisol and burnout, break down the signs of a dysregulated nervous system (especially in moms with ADHD or high mental loads), and share some personal stories about why I suddenly care so much about this hormone.
You’ll learn:
• What cortisol actually is and why it's not the villain we think it is
• The difference between early-stage and late-stage burnout
• Signs your nervous system is dysregulated (hello, can’t-sleep-even-when-you’re-exhausted energy)
• Morning habits that support healthy cortisol levels
• Nighttime rituals that help you actually wind down
• And why scrolling on your phone in bed isn’t doing your nervous system any favours (yes, I said it)
It’s like a crash course in nervous system 101... with no science degree required. Just one tired mom learning to finally support her body, brain, and burnout recovery—and sharing it with you
