  • The Invisible Cost of Being the Strong One: Why Midlife Women Break Down After Holding It All Together for Years
    2025/12/05

    Send us a text

    So many midlife women spend their whole lives being “the strong one” — the reliable friend, the supportive partner, the capable colleague, the woman who holds everything together while quietly falling apart herself. But what does that constant strength actually cost you?

    In this deeply emotional and revealing episode of Brain Fog Solution, Emma explores the invisible weight carried by high-achieving women in perimenopause and menopause. You’ll discover why so many of us fall into the “strong friend” role, how this pattern leads to burnout, brain fog, exhaustion and loss of identity, and why your body can no longer tolerate pushing through.

    Emma offers compassionate insight into the hidden stress load midlife women carry, why your hormones amplify everything, and how to redefine strength in a way that supports your wellbeing rather than draining it. This episode is a powerful reminder that real strength isn’t holding it all together — it’s allowing yourself to rest, receive support, and set boundaries without guilt.

    If you’ve ever felt unseen, overwhelmed, or like you’re carrying the emotional load of everyone around you, this episode will speak straight to your heart.

    Perfect for women in their 40s, 50s and 60s navigating brain fog, burnout, emotional overload, perimenopause, identity shifts and midlife reinvention.

    Loneliness isn’t just emotional — it’s biological.

    🧠 How loneliness directly triggers brain fog, low motivation and memory struggles
    ✨ The surprising link between oxytocin, connection and clearer thinking
    🌿 The “Invisible Load” of midlife and how it drains your cognitive bandwidth
    🤝 Gentle, doable ways to rebuild connection (even when you feel exhausted)
    🌸 Micro-connection rituals that instantly soothe stress and boost clarity
    💬 Stories, reflections and simple tools to help you feel more human and less alone

    If you’ve been feeling foggy, flat, disconnected or “not yourself,” this episode will help you understand why — and what you can do today to feel lighter, calmer and clearer.

    This is your reminder that brain fog isn’t just a hormone issue. It’s a connection issue too — and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

  • Why Fasting Might Be Fueling Your Brain Fog: The Truth About Blood Sugar in Perimenopause
    2025/10/31

    Send us a text

    Are you waking up foggy, irritable, or running on caffeine until lunchtime — only to crash by mid-afternoon? You might think it’s stress or menopause, but the real culprit could be your blood sugar balance.

    In this episode, Emma Louise Bennett — Certified Menopause Coach and ICF Life Coach — breaks down how unstable blood sugar and intermittent fasting can actually make brain fog, fatigue, and mood swings worse during perimenopause and menopause.

    You’ll learn:
    ✅ How fluctuating oestrogen and progesterone change the way women process glucose
    ✅ Why intermittent fasting that used to work in your 30s may now spike cortisol and worsen brain fog
    ✅ The signs your blood sugar is out of balance (and what your body is really trying to tell you)
    ✅ How to use the PFF Formula — Protein, Fat, Fibre — to create calm, steady energy all day long
    ✅ Simple meal and snack swaps that clear your head and lift your mood within days

    Emma shares her own story of how fasting suddenly stopped working, leaving her foggy, anxious, and exhausted — until she discovered how to eat for clarity, confidence, and hormone balance instead.

    If you’ve been struggling with:

    • Brain fog and forgetfulness
    • Afternoon energy crashes
    • Irritability, cravings, or anxiety
    • Coffee dependency or poor sleep
    • The frustration of “doing everything right” but still feeling off…
