You’re Not Losing Your Mind:

The Emotional & Cognitive Side of Perimenopause

Have you ever found yourself mid-sentence, reaching for a word you’ve used a thousand times — and it’s just... gone? Or felt a wave of anxiety so out of nowhere that you wondered if something was seriously wrong?

You’re not losing your mind. You may be in perimenopause.

It’s time to talk together about the emotional and cognitive changes of perimenopause. Not the hot flashes. The stuff that messes with your sense of self.

During this expert guided conversation, we’ll talk about:

  • Brain fog, anxiety, mood swings — and why they’re happening

  • The identity shift nobody prepares you for

  • The misconceptions that make this harder than it needs to be

  • How to stay grounded — and who you’re becoming

In this community talk, you will learn what occurs during perimenopause, the years leading up to menopause, and how lifestyle habits can support your health during this transition.

During this expert led education session, we’ll talk about:

• What hormonal changes occur during perimenopause

• How to better understand and respond to changes in your body
