Brain Fog in Menopause: Why It’s Not a Performance Problem

from Menopause

Have you ever walked into a meeting and suddenly lost your train of thought? In this episode, Liz talks about one of the most common and unsettling menopause symptoms: brain fog. 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.
