Burnout. Many women in America have experienced it. What\u2019s expected of women and what it\u2019s really like to be a woman in today\u2019s world are two very different things\u2014and women exhaust themselves trying to close the gap between them. Sisters Emily Nagoski, PhD, and Amelia Nagoski, DMA, are here to help end the cycle of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Instead of asking us to ignore the very real obstacles and societal pressures that stand between women and well-being, they explain with compassion and optimism what we\u2019re up against\u2014and show us how to fight back. In these pages you\u2019ll learn

\u2022 what you can do to complete the biological stress cycle\u2014and return your body to a state of relaxation
\u2022 how to manage the \u201cmonitor\u201d in your brain that regulates the emotion of frustration
\u2022 how the Bikini Industrial Complex makes it difficult for women to love their bodies\u2014and how to defend yourself against it
\u2022 why rest, human connection, and befriending your inner critic are keys to recovering and preventing burnout

With the help of eye-opening science, prescriptive advice, and helpful worksheets and exercises, all women will find something transformative in these pages\u2014and will be empowered to create positive change. Emily and Amelia aren\u2019t here to preach the broad platitudes of expensive self-care or insist that we strive for the impossible goal of \u201chaving it all.\u201d Instead, they tell us that we are enough, just as we are\u2014and that wellness, true wellness, is within our reach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Thoughts:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Who couldn’t use some help dealing with burnout and stress? Life can elevate stress levels at the best of times. Add in a global pandemic and…yikes. Our lives have changed, and continue to change. This book was written in the Before Times, but it’s definitely worth reading in the Now Times. It’s the first self-help book I’ve ever managed to read all the way through to the end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learned human Giver Syndrome is a thing and what it means, and things make so much sense now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human givers must, at all times, be pretty, happy, calm, generous, and attentive to the needs of others, which means they must never be ugly, angry, upset, ambitious, or attentive to their own needs<\/p>emily nagoski and amelia nagoski, burnout<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

By understanding societal norms and living with the daily expectations of what it means to be female, we can avoid disappearing beneath the weight of those expectations. Recovering from the weight of being everything to every one before looking after ourselves can be a daunting task and I was happy to find practical advice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted a book about stress that centred on the female experience. I wanted relatable content and practical advice. I feel like I got both those things with this book. I feel like I have a better understanding of how necessary it is to acknowledge feeling burnt out, and how to develop strategies to deal with both stress and with stressors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I felt seen reading this book. I found resources. I found strategies. I would definitely recommend it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until next time…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone else feeling stressed these days? Have you read Burnout? What did you think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
