I’ve been flooded with messages from you since last week’s episode — so many of you said, “This is me. This is what I’ve been feeling. And I had no idea what to call it.”
You’re not alone.
If you’re in your 40s or 50s, and your brain suddenly feels foggy, unmotivated, or like it’s just… off — this episode is for you.
We’re talking about what’s actually happening to your brain in midlife, and why it’s not about aging — it’s about repetition, hormone loss, and disconnection. And most importantly, I’ll show you how to wake it up again.
Menopause and ADHD symptoms can look very much the same. You asked what you can do to help yourself? And today I'm going to give you exactly that. Because your brain needs a new kind of support.
THREE KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
1️⃣ Your brain isn't slowing down because time is passing— it's slowing down from repetition.
2️⃣ Routines bring comfort, but too much sameness can make your brain go quiet.
3️⃣ Your dreams are THE fuel for keeping your brain firing on all cylinders.
