Does it ever feel like the smallest thing can send your whole day spiraling?
You spill the coffee, your kid melts down, a meeting runs late—and suddenly, your emotional stability feels like it’s gone.
In this week’s episode, Rachel opens up about what real resilience looks like in perimenopause—and why it’s not about pushing harder or doing more. Through her personal story of burnout as a nurse during the COVID pandemic, she shares how resilience isn’t a mindset—it’s a physiological state.
You’ll learn:
Why resilience feels so out of reach in midlife (and why that’s not your fault)
What “allostatic load” means and how it explains your symptoms
The 3 foundations for rebuilding resilience: rest, mindset, and nervous system regulation
Simple daily practices to help you feel calm, grounded, and steady again
If you’ve been feeling like one small thing could send you over the edge, this episode will remind you that you’re not broken—you’re just overloaded. And there’s a way back to calm and strength.
