Burnout sucks, no matter how you slice it. And the pandemic arguably made burnout its own pandemic as we tried to do it all—work from home, teach our kids at home, all the while living with uncertainty and stress. Some of us managed pandemic burnout—-and burnout in general—with behavior that actually exacerbates burnout, anxiety and depression. We drank more, we smoked more, we ate more. We certainly stressed more. And this became pretty much the norm, tunneling a heck of a stressed out neuropathway. 

But women had been doing this already, even prior to the pandemic. Trying to be the best mother, or best at our career, the best spouse, the best community member—and we put unrealistic expectations on ourselves all the while as we try to do it all. 

Wendy McCallum knows this story all too well. She’s experienced 2 significant burnouts and knows what it is to try to treat burnout symptoms with alcohol. As a Burnout and Alcohol Coach & Wellness Expert who works with busy professional women, many in midlife, she also knows a lot about hormones and how hormones affect women in midlife and the impact that burnout—and overuse of alcohol—has on women’s hormonal and emotional health.

In this talk, she offers the science of burnout, alcohol use, and midlife hormones. More importantly, she offers gentle but directed wisdom around what we can do to prevent and treat burnout and live a happy, fulfilled life.

Listen in for an insightful discussion, with practical steps you can take right now to prevent and treat burnout.
