Why We Hate Admitting We Are Burned Out (We Would Almost Rather Have Cancer)

### Description:

You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. And you’re definitely not alone.
Burnout in women often doesn’t look like collapse—it looks like over-functioning. Holding it all together. Smiling through the resentment. Crying in the car and showing up anyway.

In this conversation, we’ll explore:

• The most common signs of burnout women don’t realize are burnout
• Women who are burned out often gain weight even when they haven't changed their diet - they think their "metabolism is just slowing down"
• They are exhausted... but can't sleep - They think they might have hormone imbalances
• They name emotions like resentment and dread...but they think it just means they are losing their cool
• Why high-functioning, caring women often resist naming it
• HINT: It feels like they are saying they don't love their kids/parents/pets/spouse/etc.
• Why women are more prone to burnout
• HINT: They wear more hats
• What’s really at stake when we say “I can’t do this anymore”
• They might have to start saying "no" which means conflict...and they are already exhausted
• Why many women would rather be given a cancer diagnosis than be told they are "burned out"

And Most Importantly....What To Do About It!
