114 | Anxious, Irritable & Gaining Weight After 40? It Could Be Burnout - With Shan Wright

Feeling anxious, irritable, and noticing stubborn weight gain after 40? You’re not alone — and it might not be “just stress” or hormones. In this episode, I’m joined by Registered Nurse and burnout recovery expert Shan Wright to unpack the sneaky signs of burnout most women miss.

Shan opens up about her own burnout journey, the mistakes she made while chasing quick fixes for anxiety and exhaustion, and how it impacted her weight, mood, and focus. If you’ve been wondering whether it’s burnout, perimenopause, or even ADHD — you need to hear this conversation.

We’ll cover: 👉 How to recognize burnout beyond feeling ‘tired’ 👉 The connection between anxiety, irritability, and midlife weight gain 👉 Practical tools to start identifying burnout in your own life

Stay tuned for Part 2, where we’ll dive into simple, practical steps you can take to finally get out of burnout and calm your anxiety from the root.
