The Brain on Strike podcast is happening!!!

I am so excited to start this podcasting journey, sharing my own as well as other's experience of going through perimenopause. 

So, the name of the podcast is not random. It comes from my own experience of feeling like my brain has been on strike for the last two years.

I have to say that I really thought that I had a brain tumor at one point (and Mr. google concurred). But no, it's just my hormones wreaking havoc on my brain.

Right now, I feel like I don’t control my brain anymore. That it can decide in a moment’s notice what goes and what doesn’t for a given day, or any given moment. 

For many months, I’ve tried to keep pushing my old ways of doing things; to learn, to process information and to work the same way. And it’s not working at all.

It’s even affecting my sense of identity. I don’t recognize myself; I don’t know who I am anymore.  

So, the podcast is about finding a new normal. To adapt to the changes and not feeling too guilty because I can’t work and learn the same way I used to before. It’s also about shifting my identify to be proud of who I am right now.

I will share my own experience in solo episodes, but it’s also a way for me to connect and learn with so many wonderful humans going through the same transition. 

So, if you want to come along for the ride and not miss out when the first few episodes are released, just hit subscribe!!
