Ep. 93 | Perimenopause Burnout, Anxiety & Brain Fog: Why Your Symptoms Are Real (Not Just in Your Head)
Have you ever been told "you're fine" — while dealing with brain fog that makes you forget words mid-sentence, anxiety that came out of nowhere, or bone-deep exhaustion that no amount of sleep seems to fix?
You're not making it up. And you're not losing it.
Too many women in perimenopause and menopause are dismissed, misdiagnosed, or handed a prescription instead of real answers. But the truth is — these symptoms are rooted in real hormonal shifts and nervous system overload. Not weakness. Not a mindset problem. Not "just aging."
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
Why midlife women are so often dismissed or misdiagnosed — and what's actually going on
How estrogen and cortisol shifts directly impact your mood, memory, and motivation
What "wired but tired" really means and why it's one of the most common patterns in perimenopause and menopause
Why mindset work, positive thinking, and "just pushing through" won't stick if your nervous system is stuck in survival mode
The root-cause path to finally feeling like yourself again — starting with your biology, not your willpower
You'll walk away from this episode with validation that what you're feeling is real, clarity on what's actually driving your symptoms, and practical next steps to start supporting your body at the root.
This episode is for you if: You're a woman over 40 navigating perimenopause or menopause who's been told everything is normal — but nothing feels normal. You're done being dismissed. You're ready for real answers.
