Burnout doesn’t always look dramatic.
Sometimes it looks like feeling irritated by small things. Or avoiding rooms in your own house. Or thinking, “I just don’t have the energy to deal with this.”
I see this quiet burnout often with women in midlife in Cloverdale. They’ve handled a lot for a long time. And the house becomes one more responsibility instead of a place of rest.
This is usually when women start asking:
“Is this house still right for me?”
“Why does everything feel harder lately?”
“Is it okay to want something different?”
Yes. It is.
Burnout is often a signal that something needs to shift, not that something is wrong with you.
A calm, no-pressure conversation can help sort out whether the answer is change now, later, or simply planning ahead.
