Most women don’t say they’re burned out.They say they’re tired — even when nothing looks “wrong.”

In this episode, Sandy explores a deeper kind of exhaustion — one that isn’t asking for rest or better boundaries, but for recognition. Using the metaphor of Mother Earth and labor pains, this conversation reframes exhaustion as a sign of transition rather than failure.

This episode is for women who have spent years holding things together, smoothing edges, and carrying invisible emotional labor — and are now feeling something shift in their body before it has words.

If you’ve felt heavy, sensitive, or quietly done without knowing why, this episode offers language, grounding, and reassurance that nothing is wrong with you. Something is changing.
