Description

If you've ever said "I'm fine" when you weren't, this one's for you.

In this episode, I break down the invisible pressure women over 40 carry — the mental, emotional, and physical load of holding everything together for everyone.

I explain how chronic stress and constant responsibility quietly burn out your metabolism and keep your body in survival mode, even when you're "doing everything right."

It's not weakness. It's physiology.

You'll hear:

  • How "doing it all" keeps your body stuck in stress chemistry

  • The connection between cortisol, metabolism, and midlife burnout

  • What real strength looks like (and why it might mean doing less)

This episode will make you breathe deeper. It's time to stop just holding it all together and start letting yourself heal.
