If you’ve been struggling with brain fog, anxiety, irritability, or just not feeling like yourself in midlife, this episode is here for you to connect the dots. 

I’m shining a light on a hidden transition that impacts so many midlife women—but almost no one mentions it: the neurological shift of perimenopause. 

I share my own experience of feeling completely destabilized by brain-related symptoms I never expected—and how I finally discovered they were actually part of a profound brain-hormone transition happening under the surface. 

Then we cover the real science behind what’s happening in your head, and why your symptoms are valid AND can be managed with the right tools in place. 

Tune in to this episode to get my top non-negotiables for a healthier brain, and tackle midlife sharper, stronger, and more fully YOU than ever!

QUOTES
“When I recently surveyed several thousand women in perimenopause about their most disruptive symptoms, something fascinating emerged. Yes, weight gain was on that list– it always is. But what stood out the most was the brain-related symptoms, the mood issues, the low or zero stress tolerance, and that terrifying feeling that your mental energy just vanished.”

“If you want to get back to feeling stronger, more confident, more like yourself, again, it really begins with understanding what is happening with your body and embracing it.” 

“For decades, perimenopause holds the highest risk for psychological disorders in women compared to pre- and post-menopausal women. In fact, one study found that 70% of women said irritability is [their] most common symptom.”
