Parenting has always been demanding, but what happens when you suddenly feel more anxious, irritable, overwhelmed, or forgetful than you used to? For many moms, these changes can feel like a personal failure when they may actually be perimenopause symptoms. And because we don't talk nearly enough about hormone changes in women, it can be difficult to recognize what's really going on.
In this episode, I talk with reproductive psychiatrist Elisabeth Netherton about perimenopause, parenting, and women's mental health. We explore why anxiety, sleep problems, mood changes, and brain fog in women can affect everything from keeping track of your child's schedule to responding calmly when your kid pushes your buttons.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why perimenopause symptoms can show up years before you might expect them
- How hormone changes in women can influence mood, anxiety, sleep, attention, and the way you respond to your kids
- Why brain fog in women can make managing school schedules, activities, work, and family responsibilities suddenly feel much harder
- How struggles with women's mental health during perimenopause can be mistaken for simply "not handling things well"
If you've been wondering why parenting suddenly feels harder, this conversation may help you see your experience differently. Understanding perimenopause symptoms, recognizing brain fog in women, and talking more openly about women's mental health and hormone changes in women can help replace guilt and shame with information, self-compassion, and a clearer path toward getting the support you need.
