You're NOT Losing Your Mind: The Perimenopausal Brain

In this episode, we explore what’s really happening in the perimenopausal brain and why brain fog, word-finding pauses, and changes in focus don’t mean you’re losing your mind. We unpack the science of fluctuating estrogen and its role in memory, neurotransmitters, and cognitive processing, while naming the very real pressure of working full-time in a world that still expects constant productivity. This is an honest conversation about biology, nervous systems, and why fear and shame often make cognitive symptoms feel worse than they actually are.

Through a Wild & Rooted lens, we also reframe forgetting as part of a larger neurological and spiritual reorganization. One that invites discernment, embodied knowing, and different ways of working. We explore how time in nature supports memory, focus, and neurotransmitter balance, and how small, practical shifts can help you stay functional without overriding your body.

This episode is a reminder that you’re not broken; you’re adapting, recalibrating, and learning how to work with a different kind of intelligence.
