Mental health, and its unique impact on women in midlife, is explored in this heartfelt and enlightening episode. Midlife is often marked by significant hormonal shifts, particularly due to menopause, as well as social, emotional, and physical transitions.

Drawing on insights from neuroscientist Dr. Lisa Mosconi and her work, The Menopause Brain, the hosts explore how declining estrogen levels can influence mood, cognitive function, and emotional stability. However, they go beyond hormones, shedding light on the psychological impact of Empty Nest Syndrome, caregiving stress, career reassessment, and physical aging.

This episode serves as a compassionate call to reduce stigma, validate women’s experiences, and provide support during a pivotal life phase. It is both educational and deeply personal—a must-listen for women and those who care about them.
