Why Am I So Tired? The Hidden Reasons Women Feel Exhausted
Introduction
If you’ve found yourself asking, “Why am I so tired?” more times than you can count, you’re not alone. Millions of women type those exact words into Google every month—searching for answers that often feel just out of reach. Fatigue isn’t always about “doing too much.” Sometimes, it’s your body’s way of waving a white flag and begging you to listen.
As a nurse and wellness coach, I’ve seen this pattern repeatedly: women blaming themselves for low energy instead of asking why their energy is low in the first place. So let’s uncover what’s really going on behind that constant tiredness.

In this new article, I share the turning point in my journey, what actually worked, and the framework I now use to help other women rebuild their energy and confidence.
