ABOUT THIS EPISODE
She wakes at 2am, not from a deadline, not just the hot flush. She wakes because a question has surfaced she's been outrunning for years: whose life is this?
Naturopath Jennifer Jefferies has spent nearly four decades working with burned out women, starting with her own burnout in her twenties. In this episode, Jen unpacks why burnout and identity exhaustion get confused, why sleep and supplements can't fix a life that no longer fits, and why the loss of self so many women report in midlife is now a documented clinical finding, not just a feeling.
If you've built the career, raised the family, held it all together, and started to wonder if there's anyone left underneath the coat you've been wearing, this one's for you.
