The Midlife Edit

Is It Perimenopause… or Are You Just Burnt Out?

Jen Weinstein

Show Notes:

Welcome back to The Midlife Edit!

In this solo episode, Jen gets real about a question so many women in their 40s and 50s are asking:

“Are my symptoms just burnout… or is this perimenopause?”

Fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, anxiety, poor sleep — sound familiar? You’re not alone. But here’s the tricky part: perimenopause symptoms and burnout from chronic stress often overlap — and sometimes they pile on top of each other.

In this honest, relatable episode, we dive into:
 ✅ How perimenopause and burnout mimic each other
 ✅ How to start untangling what’s really going on
 ✅ Why you don’t need a perfect diagnosis to start caring for yourself
✅ Practical ways to support your mind and body — no matter the cause

Jen also shares her personal story of chasing hormone solutions, only to realize that sometimes the biggest healing comes from slowing down and saying no.

💛 If you’ve been feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or “off,” this episode is your reminder that you are not broken — and you are definitely not alone.
