The Sandwich Generation: Caregiver Burnout

Caring for kids, parents, and a hormonal body all at once. No wonder.

The quick explanation

Many midlife women are caregiving in two directions while their own bodies recalibrate. Burnout shows up as exhaustion, resentment, brain fog, and physical symptoms.

Why this matters

Naming caregiver burnout is the first step. Asking for help is the second. Both are non-negotiable.
