Host Wendy McCallum, Burnout & Balance Coach and Sarah Baillie, N.D. (aka “The Meno Whisperer) discuss why women’s burnout is on the rise (including the role of the pandemic and the “third shift” many women are now working), how women get to burnout and the common (and not so common) symptoms. They also discuss the connection between hormonal shifts in peri-menopause and menopause and higher burnout rates during that life stage (as reflected in Sarah’s patients and Wendy’s coaching practice). Sarah describes the “GAS” mechanism created by chronic stress and how that eventually leads to exhaustion. Stay tuned for Part 2 of this conversation where Wendy and Sarah provides lots of practical tips for managing cortisol and preventing burnout.
