Can you really blame menopause, or is it anxiety?
Are you depressed?
Burnt out?
Full of sh*t?
Just a bitch?
For many women, perimenopause and menopause bring far more than hot flushes and night sweats.
Neuroscience has proven that hormonal fluctuations during midlife can trigger anxiety, depression, brain fog, irritability, loss of confidence, and a profound sense of no longer feeling like yourself.
And yet, so many women suffer in silence, convinced they're simply failing to cope.
In Episode 4 of TGE Talks: Menopause, clinical psychologist Mareli Fischer helps us unpack the often-overlooked impact of menopause on mental health. Together, we explore why this life stage can feel so emotionally overwhelming and how fluctuating hormones interact with the pressures of midlife.
This conversation goes beyond self-care clichés to examine what really supports psychological wellbeing during menopause.
From understanding the science behind mood changes and brain fog to building resilience, rediscovering joy and knowing when to seek professional help, this episode is packed with practical, evidence-based advice for women navigating one of life's biggest transitions.
If you've ever found yourself wondering, What happened to me?, this episode is for you. Because menopause may change you, but it doesn't have to define you.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Anxiety and depression in midlife
- Brain fog, mood swings and emotional wellbeing
- Why self-care alone isn't enough
- Evidence-based strategies to support your mental health
- How to reconnect with yourself and thrive in midlife
