Estelle sits down with Dr Sarah McKay a neuroscientist, author, and educator known for translating complex brain science into everyday life. Together, they unpack the truth about the female brain, motherhood, and stress, overwhelm and behaviour change.

In this episode we dive into:

• What the science really says about hormones (and why the female brain isn’t “broken”)
• How matrescence remodels the brain and why “mom brain” is focus reallocation, not decline
• A new language for stress and learning to treat your nervous system like a dial, not a switch
• A model of behavior change plus habit stacking that actually sticks
• The real reason you feel overwhelmed and simple strategies to manage and prevent this

Kiss your 9-5 Goodbye starts in Jan 2026. The bold corporate exit program for the woman who knows she's meant for more.
