Exhausted But Can't Rest: The Paradox Women Over 60 Face

Are you exhausted but feel guilty whenever you try to rest? In this episode, I explore the complex paradox women over 60 face: the battle between an ageing body’s need for recovery and a lifetime of conditioning that ties worth to productivity. Many women over 60 experience a deep exhaustion that sleep alone cannot fix—yet resting feels impossible.Decades of conditioning have taught many women that their worth comes from productivity, making rest feel like failure. At the same time, ageing bodies need more recovery and care. This honest conversation looks at the emotional, cultural, and physical reasons behind this struggle. Instead of forcing drastic changes, this episode encourages small, gentle steps toward rest. If you feel tired but can’t stop, you’re not alone—and learning to rest is possible.🌐 Visit My Website - https://www.penelopelane.com.au/Support the show
