Eps 406: Overwhelming Fatigue in Midlife (and Simple Ways to Feel Better) With Michelle McCoy

In this conversation, I’m joined by Michelle McCoy, a board-certified holistic health coach who’s lived through her own experience of burnout and what she calls high-functioning fatigue. We talk about what’s really happening beneath the surface, the three types of fatigue most women miss, and the patterns like pushing through and people-pleasing that quietly keep you stuck. We also get into simple, realistic ways to start supporting your energy again, without doing more or forcing your way through it. This is a good place to start turning things around.
