The Midlife Feast

#112- How to Stop the Burnout Train in Midlife with Dr. Leigha Saunders, ND


Listen Later

If you’ve been around for a while, you’ll recognize today’s guest and know you’re in for a real treat. Sleep expert Dr. Leigha Saunders ND is back to help us make the connection between sleep and burnout-a very common experience in midlife.

As we dive into the challenges of parenting, caregiving, and the never-ending cycle of stress and sleep struggles, we'll help you spot the early signs of burnout—because knowing is half the battle to keeping it at bay.

Dr. Leigha will help us recognize the signs of over-functioning and when we’re confusing our worth with our productivity. We discuss why preventing burnout starts with practicing the art of saying no and allowing our personal values to drive our decision-making! I invite you to intentionally avoid your to-do list and listen to this episode instead!
