Why Women Are So Tired in Midlife (And Why It’s Not a Personal Failure)
There’s a particular kind of tired I hear about almost daily in my therapy office.
It’s not the kind that improves with sleep.
It’s not fixed by a vacation.
And it doesn’t go away just because life looks “fine” on the outside.
It’s the tired that comes from holding everything.
As a clinician, a business owner, a mother to pre-teens and teens, and an adult child helping care for aging parents, I know this exhaustion personally. I also see it in the women I work with every day—capable, thoughtful women who are doing their best and quietly wondering why they feel so depleted.
Let me say this clearly:
This is not a personal failure.
It’s a predictable response to the season you’re in—and the world you’re living in.
