Why So Many Women Feel Tired, Bloated, and Burned Out by Leaving Themselves Last

A guide to women’s health, burnout recovery, and rebuilding energy.

How did I get here? It's a question almost every woman I work with asks herself, not after one big moment, but after months or years of slowly putting herself last.

It usually starts innocently: "Since I had kids." "Since work got busy." "Since I took on more."

Bit by bit, you stop making time for yourself. Your health. Your energy. Your needs.

And it doesn’t happen all at once, but eventually, your body starts speaking up.

The Hidden Cost of Self-Neglect

You’re running the household. Managing schedules. Holding space for everyone else. Trying to do it all.

But meanwhile, your body keeps the score:

• Chronic fatigue

• Brain fog

• Poor sleep

• Weight gain

• Mood swings

• Gut issues

  
  

These symptoms are common. But they are not normal. They are signals that something is off. And often? They are the physical cost of emotional self-abandonment. Women’s health and burnout recovery isn’t just about bubble baths or self-care Sundays - it’s about restoring your energy, your hormones, and your sense of self.

What Are You Teaching Without Realising It?

Many mums pour everything into their kids. Because they love them. Because they want the best for themselves. But here’s the hard truth:

When you constantly neglect yourself, you model a version of life that says:

• Women should do it all.

• Mothers don’t need rest.

• Ageing means burnout.

  
  

Ask yourself:

✨ What am I really teaching my kids about self-worth and health?

✨ What would I want for them?

Because chances are, you’d never want them to run themselves into the ground the way you do.

Reclaiming Yourself Isn’t Selfish, It’s Essential

You can’t pour from an empty cup. You can’t lead your family well when you feel disconnected from your own body.

And here’s the truth: You matter, too. True women’s health and burnout recovery starts when you stop treating your needs as optional and start giving your body the care it’s been asking for.

Start small:

• Fuel your body like it deserves to be nourished

• Move because you want to feel strong

• Carve out time to rest, unplug, and reconnect with yourself

  
  

This is how we break cycles. This is how we rewrite the story.

You don’t have to keep living on empty. You can be an incredible mum and a woman who prioritises her well-being.

Inside my coaching, I help women rebuild their strength, energy, and confidence, without guilt. Because when you take care of yourself, everyone benefits.
