Running on Empty: Signs You’re Functioning While Depleted
Sandi Edghill, Certified Work-Life Wellness Coach
The Wellness Edge with Sandi Edghill (Ep 1)
In this episode, I explore what it looks like to keep functioning, performing, leading, and taking care of everyone else while quietly running on empty.
For high-achieving women, depletion does not always look like falling apart. Sometimes it looks like irritability, poor sleep, difficulty focusing, losing interest in things you once enjoyed, constant fatigue, or simply telling yourself, “I just need to get through this week,” week after week.
I share a season when exhaustion became so normal that I learned to work around it rather than question it.
This conversation invites you to pay closer attention to what your body, emotions, and behaviors may be telling you.
In this episode, I explore:
How exhaustion can quietly become your normal
The difference between managing your life and managing your depletion
Why high-achieving women can become especially skilled at functioning while exhausted
Your Edge Work for the Week
Instead of creating a new wellness plan or completely changing your schedule, I encourage you to simply notice.
Ask yourself:
What have I learned to live with that I no longer want to call normal?
What have you gotten used to?
What do you need more of?
What might you need less of?
