Burnout Is Real

What Burnout Really Looks Like

Burnout doesn’t always mean collapsing on the couch unable to move. More often, it’s subtle and sneaky. You may notice:

• Constant fatigue, even after a full night’s sleep

• Irritability or overwhelm over small things

• A heavy sense of “going through the motions”

• Tight shoulders, jaw, or lower back

• Forgetfulness or trouble focusing

• Losing interest in the things that usually bring you joy

Sound familiar? If so, you’re not alone. Burnout is extremely common for women — especially busy moms — who juggle family, demanding careers, and community commitments. But just because it’s common doesn’t mean it has to be your normal.

Why Moms & High-Achieving Women Are Especially Prone to Burnout

Women in high-income households often hold themselves to impossible standards — excelling at work, managing family schedules, volunteering in the community, and keeping everything “perfect” at home.

That pace is admirable, but it also comes at a cost. The constant state of doing keeps your nervous system in overdrive, leaving little space for rest and restoration. Over time, your body starts to send signals: tension, fatigue, and emotional depletion.

The truth is, rest isn’t a luxury. It’s essential for the very women who carry the most.

Three Ways to Begin Refueling

If you’re feeling like you’re running on empty, here are three ways to begin refilling your cup:

1. Create Non-Negotiable Rest

Block off small windows of time — even just 20 minutes — where you can unplug and be fully unavailable. Use this time to breathe, meditate, sip tea, or simply sit in stillness. Treat it like a meeting you can’t miss.

2. Move Stress Out of the Body

Stress isn’t just in your head; it lives in your muscles and nervous system. Gentle stretching, yoga, or a short daily walk can help reset your body and mind.

3. Seek Professional Support at a Local Spa

Self-care at home is important, but deeper restoration often requires intentional therapies. Massage therapy can melt away muscle tension, facials can refresh tired skin and create calm, and holistic spa services like sound baths or infrared sauna sessions can regulate your nervous system.
