How many of these lot are running the show right now? 👀
Be honest…
Because some days it’s not “you”
Its a full broadway production 🎭
One minute you’re fine next minute you're crying, raging, or forgotten why you went upstairs.
Absolutely no one is in charge.
This is perimenopause.
But it's not a personality change. Not you “losing it.”
Its a very loud cast of symptoms.

When you name them though, you stop being them.
You can clock it:
“Oh… it’s HER again.”
And that tiny bit of space where your power is.
I’ve written a blog on how naming your symptoms helps you feel more in control (without trying to fix everything at once)

I wrote a blog with 5 books recommendations.
Planned it.
Posted it.
Shared it everywhere, and somehow ended up with 6 !
This is what perimenopausal brain fog actually looks like in real life.

It can be the little details that slip through even when you’ve done everything properly.
So if you’ve had a moment like this lately,
you’re not alone, and you’re not losing it.
I’ve started thinking of it as something that shows up,rather than something that is me
👉 Derek was clearly involved in this one.
If brain fog has been visiting you too,
there are a few gentle ideas on the blog that might help.

Midlife can feel like a whole cast of experiences turning up at random times,
hot flushes, anxiety, brain fog, mood swings. And it can start to feel very personal.
So I’ve started doing something simple:
👉 naming them
Not “this is me”
but “this is something visiting”
You may have already met Barbara, but she is just the beginning.
Over the next few posts I’ll introduce the rest of the cast, and small, real ways to handle each one when they show up.
Because these things don’t define you.
They are just visiting

Menopause Hot flushes!.One minute you’re fine the next everything feels too much
and somehow it feels like it’s now your personality, and it's going to be forever.
But it’s not you??
What if it's Barb?
Lately I’ve been thinking about these moments as a kind of cast of characters
that show up uninvited.
Barbara is just one of them.
She comes in strong, takes over for a bit
and then disappears like nothing happened
But when you name it, something shifts and
You realise:

This isn’t who you are. You are not your menopause symptoms.
They are something passing through.

Follow to meet the cast of supporting characters and see how naming them can help.
