Ever walk into a room and forget why? Or open five tabs and instantly lose track of all of them? If your mind feels like it’s running on dial-up lately, you’re not alone and you’re definitely not broken. In this episode, Jen dives into the real reasons behind brain fog in midlife. From hormonal shifts to chronic stress and lifestyle habits, she breaks down why your brain’s “buffering” and what you can do to clear the fog. Using her signature BAM (Bare Arse Minimum) approach, Jen shares simple, effective tools to help you feel sharp, focused, and back in control, without needing a retreat or a pharmacy full of supplements.

Feeling flat, unmotivated, or like your mojo’s gone walkabout? You're not alone — and you're definitely not lazy. If you’re a woman in your 40s or beyond wondering why you’re so tired all the time (even when you're not doing “that much”), this episode is your wake-up call — and your permission slip to stop pushing through.

In this episode, Jen unpacks the truth about midlife fatigue, why your energy isn't broken (just hijacked), and how to reclaim your core vitality without relying on hype-fuelled tactics like caffeine and panic productivity. She explains how your hormones, adrenals, and nervous system are all playing a part — and shares her signature BAM (Bare Arse Minimum) fixes to help you reset, recharge, and rise strong.

If you’ve ever whispered “Maybe I’m just lazy now,” this is the reminder you didn’t know you needed. You're not lazy. You’re just bloody brilliant — and long overdue for some recovery.
