And quite often when I see women, they're like, I'm just the most awful person to my husband. I'm the worst mom in the world. I find myself behaving in a way that I would hate myself. And then that judgment comes in and they're mortified at what they've done because we're forgetting that these are the most powerful biochemicals in the body and your brain's covered in receptors for them.

How can we expect the brain? We're already pushing up a rock, up a mountain. We've spent decades in this burnout boom cycle, overworking to overcompensate for the perception that we've seen. You know, like when you were talking about your experience growing up and being a high achiever, I was the same. I was immense as a kid.

My IQ was through the roof, you know, and this expectation of me to achieve academically, I got a massive dopamine hit from it. I wasn't a naughty girl. I was a good girl, you know, until the lid came off in my teenage years. And then, you know, that all went a bit wrong. But these are really powerful points for us. You know, we get missed.

These things get missed in us because we've masked our way through. We pick up, our nervous systems are so sensitive. And I believe our hormone systems are as well. And our nervous systems are so sensitive that we walk in a room and we've picked up who likes us, who doesn't like us, what the energy is. We are on all the time, right? Which is a blessing and a curse. But the impact on our adrenals

is huge particularly if we've got rejection sensitivity dysphoria running alongside this this terrifying fear of getting something wrong our adrenals are just go go go go go you know so no wonder we have a harder perimenopause because there's nothing in the tank to kind of keep these estrogen and progesterone production going for us so we don't crash Yeah, it's hard.

So when we step into this season, then it's like, oh, you know, we need to make sure we're getting really good sleep. I mean, if you're not sleeping, that's the worst advice you ever want to hear, isn't it? It's like, I know I want to sleep, you know, and being able to have the bandwidth to put in the practices that we know we should be doing.

We don't have these hormones here to help us go, right, this is how I need to increase my capacity, my mental capacity right now. So I can actually do the stuff I know I should be doing for myself. So we go into this paralysis.
