What if menopause isn’t a breakdown, but a house renovation you’re living inside?

In this episode, I reframe menopause in a way I wish someone had offered me. Not as decline. Not as loss. Not as something to “push through.”
But as a neurological remodel happening in real time, while I’m still expected to function, work, parent, decide what cheese to buy, and hold everything together.

No wonder it feels chaotic.

What I share in this episode:

• Why menopause is not just hormonal, but deeply neurological
• How fluctuating estrogen affects mood, memory, focus, and emotional regulation
• Why brain fog, emotional sensitivity, and slower thinking are not failures, but signs of reorganization
• What’s really happening when my tolerance for noise, pressure, people-pleasing, and nonsense disappears
• How the amygdala shifts and threat sensitivity gradually dials down
• Why decisions feel slower, more embodied, and less driven by urgency
• How identity itself begins to shift during menopause, not collapse
• The grief, the disorientation, and the unexpected clarity that emerges on the other side
• Why post-menopause often brings deeper contentment, discernment, and grounded leadership

If you’re like me and feeling:

• Less sharp but more sensitive
• Slower but more discerning
• Less tolerant of bullshit
• Less available for emotional labour
• More interested in depth than surface-level busyness

Nothing has gone wrong.
Something is reorganizing with intent.
