Losing My Mind and Finding It Again: Perimenopause, Fear, and the Journey Back to Myself
Ladies, let’s get real for a moment. Running a business, raising a family, showing up in your community it's a lot. And when you add in unexpected personal battles like perimenopause, it can feel like you’re slowly losing pieces of yourself.
This episode of The Moxie Movement Podcast is a raw, real conversation about facing fears, navigating the unknown, and finding your way back to clarity, confidence, and freedom. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, foggy, or disconnected, this one’s for you.
Facing Fear (and Finding Freedom) on a Scooter 🛵
When we moved to Koh Lanta, Thailand, I was terrified of riding a scooter. My fear kept me walking everywhere while everyone else zipped past on two wheels. But one day, I decided enough was enough.
I hopped on a 125cc scooter, shaky but determined, and something shifted. That ride wasn’t just about transportation, it was about reclaiming independence. It reminded me of what’s possible when we push through fear instead of letting it hold us back.
Business is the same. Sometimes you’ve just got to take the handlebars and ride into the unknown.

The Stark Reality of Microplastics
Traveling Thailand with my daughter, Scarlett, has been an unexpected gift. Watching her delight in new foods, new people, and new places reminded me to stop and see the beauty in fresh experiences.
As women in business, we often get caught up in the grind. But the truth? Seeing life through our children’s eyes brings us back to presence, play, and gratitude. And that’s where joy lives.

During a beach cleanup, I was stunned by the sheer volume of microplastics littering the sand. A sobering reminder that every choice we make matters not just for us, but for our kids and the planet they’ll inherit.

Here’s the truth many of us aren’t talking about: if you’re between 35 and 55, perimenopause might be knocking at your door. For me, it showed up as brain fog, anxiety, and sleepless nights that left me questioning my sanity.
I felt like I was losing my mind. But here’s the important part you're not broken, and you’re not alone.

Advocating for myself was a game-changer. After pushing for the right medical advice, I started Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Within days, the fog lifted. My clarity, motivation, and confidence came flooding back.
Ladies, your health matters. You are the most valuable asset in your business. If something feels off, fight for answers. Don’t settle for being dismissed.

The shift was immediate. With the right support, I found my rhythm again. The drive to show up for my business, my family, and myself returned. And I want you to know it's possible for you, too.
