Short transcript excerpt from a podcast clip by Josh Trent discussing why women experience burnout ~200% more than men. Speakers describe female biology as complex, likening a woman across a month to "four different women," highlight hormonal variation (estrogen peaks at ovulation) and associated changes in strength, endurance, mood, and sexual drive, and argue that social expectations set an unsustainable standard when women are expected to perform at their ovulatory peak continuously.

Women experience burnout 200% more often than men. The female biology and physiology is the most complex and sophisticated biological system on the planet. So much so that we can say that women are essentially four different women. Across the span of a month, we reached the peak of estrogen right around the time of ovulation. A woman's power, strength, and endurance is also increasing as estrogen rises.
Ovulation is my favorite.
Women love ovulation.
Oh, my God, you're glowing. You're in such a great mood. You want to have sex?
Yeah.
Cool. But it comes with the other three that are important to understand.
So I also want to make a note about ovulation, because this is where we set the standard for ourselves. This is also where society sets the bar for us at large, because if we show up like that and we want to be perceived and show up as superwoman consistently, it's not possible. It's not biologically possible. Had we honored the neurophysiological gift of the female biology, we'd be in a different place.
