Eps 406: Overwhelming Fatigue in Midlife (and Simple Ways to Feel Better) With Michelle McCoy
About this episode
Bria Gadd interviews Michelle McCoy about overcoming overwhelming fatigue in midlife and practical strategies for energy support.
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. Tune in now!
