Are you experiencing these symptoms?

Brain fog

Brain fog can be enormously frustrating. Making it difficult to think clearly, concentrate and recall important details at the right time.

Anxiety

Anxiety adds a layer of worries that can make organising and beginning complex tasks and projects feel like a massive hurdle.

Overwhelm

Overwhelm is a feeling of being weighed down, which can be worsened by having tasks dispersed in many locations and in your head.

Feeling frazzled?

Brain fog, anxiety and overwhelm, coupled with unpredictable changes in energy levels and mood can make looking after tasks more difficult and frustrating.

Hello I'm Karen

During the perimenopause stage of my menoshift™ I was running a business with my partner but struggled to keep going due to the many different menoshift symptoms that changed how I felt and what I could do.

I’m now over 10 years post menopause and have some understanding of what you may be experiencing. I recognise that the troublesome trio of brain fog, anxiety and overwhelm can play havoc with your wellbeing and sometimes your belief in yourself to continue to grow thriving businesses.

I hope that by sharing the 7 principles of DOING with you, you’ll be able to make some changes to how you take care of your tasks, to lessen the impact of brain fog, anxiety and overwhelm. And that you’ll be kind to yourself first and develop wonderful businesses to inspire others!
