The Symptoms Are Real: Why Midlife Burnout, Anxiety, and Brain Fog Aren’t ‘Just in Your Head’
If you’ve been told “you’re fine” while dealing with brain fog, anxiety, or bone-deep exhaustion—this episode is for you.
Too many women are dismissed during perimenopause and postmenopause. You’re struggling with real symptoms, but instead of getting support, you’re offered a prescription—or worse, told it’s all in your head.
The truth? These symptoms are rooted in real hormonal and nervous system shifts.
You’re not broken. Your body is overwhelmed.
In this episode, Cindi breaks down what’s actually going on beneath the surface—why your stress response, hormone changes, and burnout are all connected, and why the path to relief starts with supporting your biology (not just your mindset).
✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why so many women feel dismissed or misdiagnosed in midlife
How estrogen and cortisol shifts affect your mood, motivation, and memory
What “wired but tired” actually means—and why it’s so common in menopause
Why mindset work won’t stick if your nervous system is stuck in survival mode
How to finally feel like yourself again—with support that addresses the root cause
