Women and stress go hand in hand in this culture. We are over extending ourselves in all facets of life: work, home, relationships, etc. We don’t even realize how stressed we are anymore because it's been normalized.
The common excuses to dismiss our symptoms of burnout are:
We disregard fatigue, irritability, anxiety, depression, and weight gain as part of being a typical woman.
WELL THAT IS JUST NOT TRUE! It's time to stop ignoring our symptoms and take actionable steps to better our health even in the most stressful of times.
