Why Your Bubble Bath Is Insulting: The Truth About "Self Care" Gaslighting (Women Healers 50+)
Have you ever felt a flash of pure, white-hot rage when someone tells you to "just practice more self-care," knowing full well that a bubble bath won't fix your 60-hour work week or your perimenopausal insomnia?
That rage is your wisdom speaking. For women over 50 and healers, standard wellness advice isn't just ineffective—it is gaslighting. You are not exhausted because you are "doing self care wrong"; you are exhausted because your nervous system has been in survival mode for decades. If you are carrying the cognitive load of ten people, being told to "relax" feels like a slap in the face. This disconnect is fueling your resentment and making you feel even more overwhelmed.
In this fiercely validating episode, Dr. Juls breaks down why the wellness industry fails high-achieving women. You will learn why you cannot "relax" your way out of chronic dysregulation and how to find real relief. Discover:
- The "Wellness Gaslight": Why one-size-fits-all advice is insulting to women holding leadership responsibilities (and how to stop blaming yourself for "failing" at relaxation).
- Biology vs. Bubble Baths: Why your anxiety and "brain fog" are physiological responses to burnout and hormonal shifts—not a lack of willpower.
- Real Regulation Tools: How to reclaim your capacity using strategies rooted in biological truth and boundaries, rather than perfectionism and performative mental health.
Stop forcing "care" that doesn't work. Press play to stop the performance and start building a life that supports your authenticity.
This podcast supports women healers over 50 navigating burnout, compassion fatigue, and midlife transitions with strategies for nervous system regulation, trauma-informed boundaries, and chakra alignment to heal resentment and self-neglect while cultivating soul joy, radiance, and a purposeful next chapter of freedom and inner peace.
THE DIAGNOSIS: Are you the Martyr who can't say no? Or the Warrior who fights until she collapses? You cannot heal what you cannot name.
