Have you noticed fear, anxiety, or self-doubt creeping in more as you navigate menopause? This isn’t about being an “anxious person” - there are very real reasons behind this AND options for relief too.
You’re not imagining it. For many women, perimenopause and menopause quietly reshape fear circuits, hormones, and the nervous system, affecting anxiety, cognition, confidence, and emotional well-being.
And by quietly, it can happen very slowly until you’re like “OMG, I can’t even drive at night anymore???”
🎙️ On Monday’s episode of the Sandy K Nutrition Health & Lifestyle Queen Podcast, I dive deep into
why fear increases in midlife, and some options to help overcome this.
- How estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, dopamine, sleep, and blood sugar affect your brain.
- The role of trauma, grief, cultural scripts, and chronic responsibility.
- Practical ways to rebuild emotional safety, confidence, and capacity
- Tools like breathwork, EMDR, BEAM Therapy (@sobrilliant.ca), and micro-exposures.
This episode is for women who want to understand the biology, culture, and lived experience behind midlife anxiety and create a roadmap to expand rather than shrink.
