As we continue to explore the theme of “Your Voice. Your Choice.” during Women’s Health Week, I feel it’s crucial to delve deeper into the issue of burnout among Gen-X women.

Burnout rates for women in Australia and New Zealand have been a growing concern, especially in recent years. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics and research institutions like Auckland University of Technology and Health Roundtable, 46% of women report experiencing and feeling burn out.

It’s Women’s Health Week from 2 – 6 September, and this year’s theme is “Your Voice. Your Choice.”

 To me, “Your Voice. Your Choice.” is about the importance of women feeling seen and heard by medical professionals. It’s a call to action for women to advocate for their health and well-being.
