Feeling wrung out by a hundred tiny choices before lunch? We dive into the real reasons decisions feel heavier during perimenopause—and how to get your clarity and confidence back without trying harder or becoming “more disciplined.” With a clear, kind breakdown of brain science, we explain how the prefrontal cortex tires across the day, how cortisol tugs you into fight-or-flight, and why fluctuating oestrogen and poor sleep amplify overwhelm. You’ll hear concrete signs of decision fatigue and why snapping at “What’s for dinner?” is not a moral failing but a predictable response to cognitive overload.

From there, we get practical. We share the systems that reduce friction: capsule wardrobes that remove morning debates, a rotating family meal list everyone agrees to, and recurring orders that eliminate memory traps for supplements and essentials. We talk about rituals that soothe the nervous system and cut micro-decisions, the best time of day to tackle complex thinking, and how to delegate household choices so you’re no longer the default decider. You’ll also learn how to limit choice overload on purpose, unsubscribe from inbox noise without guilt, and embrace “good enough” as a true energy saver.

There’s warmth and humour throughout—plus a quick look at our upcoming firewalk coaching event and what World Menopause Month means for this community. If decision paralysis, wardrobe standoffs, or late-night doom scrolling feel familiar, this conversation offers simple tools that work in real life. Subscribe to stay close to fresh, stigma-free guidance on perimenopause, and share this episode with a friend who needs permission to choose less.
