Have you experienced emotional exhaustion or brain fog that leaves you feeling lost and empty? This episode dives deep into the challenges women healers over 50 face, including burnout, compassion fatigue, and the impact of perimenopause on cognitive function. Discover the concept of the Estrogen Void — a misunderstood condition that is not aging or dementia, but a hormonal shift affecting brain health and purpose.

Join Dr. Julie Merriman, Ph.D., LPC-S, as she explores somatic healing techniques, boundary setting, and the role of estrogen as a brain-protective hormone. Learn how functional mushrooms and a Solar Plexus chakra somatic reset can aid emotional recovery and promote self-compassion. This episode draws on polyvagal theory and trauma-informed nervous system strategies to help you regain clarity, confidence, and ignite your passion beyond burnout and compassion fatigue.
