If you’ve ever woken up exhausted, no matter how much sleep you get, or if you’re finding that midlife has left you feeling depleted, you are not alone. Fatigue can creep up on us in so many ways—through stress, hormones, poor sleep, or simply doing too much. In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey with lifelong fatigue, how I’ve learned to manage it, and the strategies that have made the biggest difference in my energy levels.
This episode is a continuation of last week’s conversation, but today, I’m focusing on sleep—what’s working, what’s not, and how I protect my energy every single day. If fatigue has been a struggle for you, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
