In this first episode of Her Burnout Uncovered, we’re naming the burnout women live with every single day — the kind that hides under the overthinking, over-giving, overdoing, and constant pressure to “hold it all together.”


This isn’t the dramatic burnout that makes headlines.


It’s the Unknown Burnout — the quiet, normalized exhaustion women get praised for.

You’ll hear why women aren’t “bad at balance” or “not resilient enough.” You’ve been set up for burnout through impossible expectations, invisible mental load, and the belief that you should do it all without ever breaking down.


By the end of this episode, you’ll understand:

  • What Unknown Burnout actually is
  • Why the signs are so easy to miss until you’re drowning
  • The three patterns that show up in women everywhere
  • And why recognizing it is the first step to finally getting your energy and life back

If you’ve searched “why am I always tired?” or wondered why doing more never makes life feel better, this episode is your wake-up call.


You’re not crazy. You’re not weak. You’re burned out — in a way no one ever taught you to spot.




KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • There’s a hidden category of burnout affecting women daily.
  • Most women don’t know they’re burned out — they think they’re the problem.

  • Burnout shows up as overthinking, overgiving, and overdoing.
  • Women get praised for the patterns that drain them the most.
  • Self-awareness isn’t fluffy — it’s survival.
