85. Why Women Over 40 Feel So Stressed and Burned Out (2026 Guide)

85. Why Women Over 40 Feel So Stressed and Burned Out (2026 Guide)

In this episode of Functional Moms Podcast, we learn quick stress-busting strategies to put ourselves first and set boundaries without guilt.

Guest Diane Lang is a certified positive psychology coach, speaker, educator and author of 4 books. Her most recent book, Worthy, explores the hidden causes of unworthiness, its deeper implications, and its connection to perfectionism and control.

We learn:

  • Women over 40 face unique stressors due to hormonal changes and caregiving responsibilities

  • Many women experience an identity crisis in midlife, questioning their life choices

  • Setting boundaries is essential for mental health, yet often comes with guilt

  • Self-care is not selfish, it is necessary for overall well-being

  • True self-care involves meeting basic needs like sleep, nutrition and exercise

  • Routines are vital for maintaining balance and health in daily life

  • How finding purpose in midlife is crucial for fulfillment
