Perimenopause does not just affect how you feel. It can affect how you sleep, focus, manage stress, make decisions and show up at work.
And when those things suddenly feel harder, it is very easy to assume the problem is you.
In this Quick Lift, Betsy breaks down the biggest takeaways from her conversation with Dr. Caissa Troutman about the career impact of perimenopause — including why women often mistake symptoms for stress, how brain fog can become a confidence and credibility issue, and why “normal” does not mean you need to suffer through it.
Betsy also shares her own experience with anxiety, 3:00 a.m. wake-ups and dismissing her symptoms because she was not having hot flashes.
You’ll walk away with practical steps for recognizing what has changed, finding the right medical support and making sure you do not mistake a biological transition for a decline in your capability.
Bottom line: Before you decide you are losing your edge, get curious about what may actually be going on.
