If you’ve been forgetting words, struggling to concentrate, or feeling less sharp at work, this is a reminder that you’re not losing your capability; your brain is responding to hormonal change, stress, and poor sleep, not personal failure.Liz explores why brain fog happens during perimenopause and menopause, why it can feel so frightening for busy women, and the small practical shifts that can help support focus, clarity, and confidence again.Follow the podcast and share this episode with someone who needs it.
