EP526. If you've been feeling exhausted, wired at the wrong times, or like you're one meltdown away from Googling "is it burnout or just motherhood?"... this one's for you.

In today’s solo episode, I give you the Coles Notes version of the latest Huberman Lab episode on cortisol and burnout, break down the signs of a dysregulated nervous system (especially in moms with ADHD or high mental loads), and share some personal stories about why I suddenly care so much about this hormone.

You’ll learn:
• What cortisol actually is and why it's not the villain we think it is
• The difference between early-stage and late-stage burnout
• Signs your nervous system is dysregulated (hello, can’t-sleep-even-when-you’re-exhausted energy)
• Morning habits that support healthy cortisol levels
• Nighttime rituals that help you actually wind down
• And why scrolling on your phone in bed isn’t doing your nervous system any favours (yes, I said it)

It’s like a crash course in nervous system 101... with no science degree required. Just one tired mom learning to finally support her body, brain, and burnout recovery—and sharing it with you
