Menopause brain fog, mood swings and changing identity
An unexpected tear in the supermarket, a sharp exchange over a mug and a vanished word at work reveal how bodily change can unsettle identity. Guided by The Menopause Manifesto, The Menopause Brain, NHS and Cleveland Clinic resources, the hosts replace shame with pattern-tracking and better questions. Boston’s quiet library courtyard offers the final permission: meet yourself gently.
A quieter place for midlife change
Boston Public Library’s McKim Courtyard holds stone arches, still water and morning hush, giving changing bodies and unsettled identities a dignified place to notice patterns, ask questions and soften shame.
Why Who Am I Today? feels Reflective
The opening follows mood shifts, brain fog, the mug incident, and curiosity replacing shame, making self-observation the central emotional movement.
