In this compassionate and timely solo episode of Blossoming Beyond, Beccy Freeman dives into a feeling many women in midlife know all too well — overwhelm.

If you’ve been feeling scattered, on edge, stretched too thin, or simply not yourself lately, this episode is your soft landing. We explore why so many women are feeling emotionally and physically exhausted right now — and more importantly, what you can do to begin shifting that.

This isn’t about pushing harder or fixing yourself. It’s about understanding what’s happening in your body and nervous system, naming the pressure you’ve been under, and gently choosing a new way forward.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why overwhelm isn’t just a “to-do list” problem
•  How mental load, hormonal shifts, and global stress contribute to nervous system burnout
• What perimenopause and oestrogen decline have to do with stress and reactivity
• The link between emotional regulation and your biology
• 3 gentle, real-life practices to calm your system and reconnect with yourself

You’ll also hear:

• Why naming what you feel is healing in itself
• How to re-evaluate pressure and release unrealistic expectations
• What “creating a pocket of calm” can do for your emotional resilience
