Feminine Burnout
What is Feminine Burnout?
Feminine Burnout is the specific type of burnout that affects successful, strong, capable women at home, at work, and in their relationships. The women who do it all, who have been running on empty for so long they don’t even realize how much they are neglecting themselves and their health, but they know there is more. They know they deserve more connection, better health, better sex, and more wealth.
A term developed by Dr. Wiggins, Feminine Burnout was created to encapsulate the challenges women face when they do it all and ignore their own health and needs.
The Feminine Burnout Cycle
The Feminine Burnout cycle can be broken down into three stages:
Stage 1: It starts with over-functioning. The Superwomen who do it all at work, at home and everywhere in between, usually without praise or appreciation. They take care of everyone else but themselves and, despite feeling overworked and exhausted, just keep pushing through without asking for help.
Stage 2: After having pushed their body and mind so much, these Superwomen finally hit a wall where they’re forced to slow down. Physically this wall could mean they’ve gotten sick with a virus or a cold, or are suffering from extreme fatigue or chronic flare ups, migraines, or throwing out your back or neck. Mentally, they could be suffering from panic attacks, depression, mental health issues. Whatever the case, something forces them to stop, rest and slow down, however the time meant to be spent healing is usually filled with feelings of guilt for not getting anything done.
Stage 3: The second a Superwomen is able to, she is jumping back into her over-functioning ways at home and at work, usually working even harder to catch up, and then ultimately starting the cycle over again.
Are you trapped in the cycle?
There are six key indicators when it comes to knowing whether or not you’re trapped in the seemingly endless Feminine Burnout cycle. If you fit into the following statements, then you’re likely trapped in this pattern and it is affecting your health and relationships:
- You’re never able to rest. How long does it take you to unwind on a vacation? Once you’re home, do you get more stressed from the vacation because you feel you’ve fallen behind on work?
- You’re not very flexible. How well do you handle an unexpected change to your plans? Do small changes make your head explore or maybe you shut down entirely?
- Your relationship has changed. The sex and intimacy dynamic between you and your partner has changed and something is off.
- You’re dealing with functional depression. You’re sad, lost, not interested in things you used to enjoy, but you’re still keeping it together at work and at home.
- You’re anxious. You feel like you’re jumping to put out one fire after another.
- Your health is starting to suffer. Exhausted, moody, sick, bloated, hormonal, can’t sleep? These are signs that Feminine Burnout is starting to take a toll on your body and health.
