Sleep, Energy and Burnout with Dr Shauna Watts
Are you waking up at 3am with your brain already racing? Dragging yourself through the afternoon and quietly wondering how you're going to make it to the end of the day?
If any of that sounds familiar, you're in good company. And there are real, biological reasons it's happening.
In this episode, host Adrienne Donnelly sits down with Dr. Shauna Watts, a GP with a special interest in women's health and midlife medicine, to talk about sleep, energy and burnout and how all three show up for women running a business. Dr. Shauna brings the medical knowledge without the overwhelm, and the kind of honest, practical guidance that actually makes sense in real life. This one is worth saving.
You'll hear about:
🌱 Why so many women wake between 2 and 4am and what's driving it
🌱 How to create an end-of-day routine that helps your brain switch off
🌱 What to eat at 3pm instead of reaching for sugar or another coffee
🌱 The signs of burnout that are easy to miss in yourself and in others
🌱 Why a normal blood test doesn't rule out perimenopause
You're the heartbeat of your business and your family, and when your energy is stretched thin, everything around you feels it. Dr. Shauna makes the complex feel manageable, and this conversation gives you both the language for what you're experiencing and some genuinely practical steps to start working with your body rather than against it.
