Hormonal Burnout

What’s happening:
Women’s stress response isn’t linear, it shifts with our cycle and then around ovulation, our cortisol spikes. Post-ovulation, you’re more likely to feel flat, anxious, or wired-tired (thanks, progesterone drop). Add PMS or perimenopause in the mix and it’s 🔥 on 🔥. Your hormones are multitasking even harder than you are.

What to do:
You don’t need a full wellness protocol. You need smart, body-calming inputs that work with your chemistry.

Try one of these:

Hum or sing to yourself out loud. This activates your vagus nerve (and sounds better than journaling).

Do 30 seconds of cold exposure. Even if it’s just turning the shower to cold at the end.

Use red light therapy at night. It’s like a spa for your mitochondria.

Bonus:

Internet-Induced Burnout

What’s happening:
We consume the equivalent of 34 gigabytes of info a day. That’s 100,000+ words — most of it irrelevant, some of it harmful. Our brain wasn’t built to process this and the constant input is draining our dopamine levels, leading to dopamine fatigue, decision fatigue and a short fuse. And your nervous system? She’s tired babe.

What to do:
You need micro rituals to lean on that unplugs your brain before it hits burnout.

Start here:

1. Order what you need for a proper wind-down:

- Alarm clock or Alexa (so your phone stays out)
- Kindle or physical book to replace the phone (no need to go cold turkey!)
- Candle or diffuser to set the mood

2. Set an alarm 2 hours before bed:

- When it goes off, plug your phone in outside the bedroom
- Don’t skip this — it’s the boundary that protects your brain

3. Start your ritual:

- Bath or hot shower
- Skincare with intention (not rush) try a luxe face oil or anything you love!
- Read under soft light
- Let yourself slow down.. no scrolling, no noise, no alerts, no dopamine hits

Bonus:
🌿 Try Mood Sleepytime Gummies… they signal to your brain and body that it’s time to switch off.

High-Functioning Burnout

What’s happening:
You look fine. You’re doing fine. You’re killing it. But inside, you’re emotionally flat, snappy, and living in a constant state of low-grade exhaustion. This is the kind of silent burnout high-performing women know too well — especially those with ADHD or people-pleasing tendencies.

What to do:
You need to rebuild your baseline with the basics. That means nervous system support becomes scheduled into the diary: rest, joy, boundaries, and chemistry-level calm that will let your nervous system breathe without needing to cancel your whole life when it bubbles over. Your brain needs recovery cues that feel safe, supportive, and easy to do.

Try one of these:

Body doubling: Working alongside someone.. even virtually! helps ADHD brains stay grounded and reduces decision fatigue. It can be as simple as a co-working Zoom or sitting next to a partner while doing your own thing.

Schedule a “nothing is required” breather: Set aside 30 minutes where you have nothing to do. No optimizing, no performing, no guilt - just lost in quiet thought.

Noise-canceling headphones: Use Loop earplugs or similar to block micro-stressors (like pings and random background noise) throughout the day, even during chores.

Bonus:
🦋 Try Mood Chillout Gummies to balance your mood, for anyone needing the extra buffer between stress and burnout.
